The Font Business is On!


Another graphic artist and I had the idea of starting our own typography foundry. Basically making our own fonts. It's now in the making. There are five fonts that will be up shortly on myfonts.com For those who don't know about myfonts.com it has been a wicked time saver for me. I work in a prepress department re-drawing logos and maching fonts all day (not a designer's dream job, but it's a start), so using myfonts to locate specific type-faces is handy as a hammer when you need to nail something!

Well we've gotten a little nuts about typography since seeing all these fonts day in and day out and realize how a certain type face can add so much to a logo, design, or anything else where we see type everyday.

Now we'll be adding our own typography to the massive world of design. I mean how cool would it be to see one of your fonts in big letters being used for a movie or something. Ok, maybe not so cool to some... but for us who believe that Arial is Microsoft's cheesy ass bull-shit knock off of Helvetica, it is.
