It’s a shame they decided to post this video with AIGA’s crummy video embed, so I can’t embed directly — but if you have any interest in typography today, click through and take 30 minutes out of your day to watch this. Informative, funny, and inspiring.
The H&FJ newsletter is a perfect balance of typography tips and marketing.
The venerable typography blog, I Love Typography, has released a list of their favorite fonts for 2009. The post is designed a bit like Boston.com’s The Big Picture, with big, beautiful samples of last year’s greatest typefaces. Of note, I definitely plan on picking up a copy of Trilby soon, and shown above is HFJ’s Sentinel, probably my #1 pick for best new font in ‘09.
New from HFJ, Tungsten® is “a tight family of high-impact fonts in four weights: muscular and persuasive, without sacrificing wit, versatility, or style.” This really hits at the center of my love for HFJ: Their ability to create classic, timeless fonts, often refining a style which has been around for decades. Tungsten looks to be a great, modern improvement over older condensed sans serifs like Akzidenz Grotesk and Franklin Gothic. Another recent release, Sentinel, likewise improves and expands on the ever-popular slab serif, Clarendon. (via mikemccarron)
