I am currently designing comp sheets/letterheads for an actress in Bodoni with body text in Century Gothic why because it look feminine

middle one! but less bubbly with more irregular skinnier lines! and y's need longer tail off to left. oh man what if everyone's handwriting could be turned into a font. next level uncanny nation

rrrobyn, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

I like garamond and comic sans - don't usually use anything for English text other than Times New Roman though

Heave Ho, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

there's a program that does that, but I can't remember which one.

I'd want it for my 'toons.

Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

Scala Sans ftw

stet, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)

PP, do you have any toons to show off to us?

libcrypt, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

Some ancient ones can be found here. The only recent stuff I've done is on that "Arbuckle" page, but I got me one of them fancy tablets for my birthday, so I'm going to try to get back into it.

You're sweet for asking.

"I was the epitome of porn"

whoops. IT I meant, obviously...

o-ess, Thursday, 8 November 2007 01:31 (eighteen years ago)

I like garamond and comic sans -

ITC Garamond trumps Adobe Garamond, btw.

Careful admitting you like Comic Sans.

I really like the Centro Pro family, which won Best Original Typeface at the European Design Awards 2008.

Alba, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:55 (eighteen years ago)

is it possible to have a career in font design? can I give up my cushy 'new media' job and become a full-time font designer?

Futura is my favourite for sans-serif business and headers and so on. Adobe Garamond wins for serif stuff like basic body text and things I need to print out. I prefer it to normal Garamond for its superior italics.

euro 2008 has thrown up some odd typefaces. those shirt numbers they were using the other night looked like My First Bitmap Font.

There was a time pre-Millennium when I was mad about Impact. Woe to the tab pages I designed.

Terrible Cold, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 14:15 (eighteen years ago)

My favourite font of the moment is Neue Steinschrift.

Obviously not an all purpose font, but when it's used in the right context it's great.

Caek -

Found a filesharing messageboard that said this:

Looking for Eton (Optifont/Castcraft) [ May also go under the name of Wexford (Medium, and so on)

If Wexford is indeed the same as Eton then this points to UK company Fontware as being a supplier of it.

Alba, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

Caek, I'm still not sure there's an electronic version. I spoke to a foundry which had wexford, but it wasn't even the same font.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

thank you both, will let you know if I turn anything up

caek, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

That's the foundry I spoke to. Their wexford is something else. That image of Wexford was posted by someone on a font identification board in response to my question. They didn't know whether there was an electronic version. I'm assuming your interest is also My Bloody Valentine related...

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

I've been looking forever :(

"Wexford Medium -- issued by VGC -- digital by Castcraft’s OPTIFonts as Eton (they are difficult to deal with and expensive)"

caek, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

Not so much MBV. I'm looking to do a kind of pastiche of Blue Note album artwork without usng Bauhaus, which I have an irrational hatred of.

caek, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 19:08 (eighteen years ago)

I invented this font in MS paint a while ago because I couldn't find a 3x3 font that I liked. Soon I found a site that allowed me to build it-- but it took out some of the stuff I wanted, like monospace (as it stands some shapes are 1x3 or 2x3, like periods and spaces and brackets) but other than that I love it, it is my font, and btw if anyone knows how to fix my monospace woes I can hook you up.

Frutiger STD & its many incarnations has been my go-to practical-use font for some time now.

I have a longstanding love of 50s scripty fonts like Murray Hill, probably ingrained from childhood via motel signage like Holiday Inn.
