A Note on the Type: Font designers imagine a better-looking Web. If this article is too much I recommend H&FJ’s recent Show and Tell entry: FONTS ON THE WEB. It is distilled goodness.

So I am positively giddy that The Penguin Design Award 2009 winners have been announced. This year’s winning design is by Peter Adlington.  Nice

Most of the talks that we’ve given are lost to the sands of time, but this afternoon I was happy to discover that one of our favorite presentations lives on. For the AIGA Design Conference in Denver, we were asked to meditate on the topic of “What’s Next,” for which we presented a study of typographic history — and why the ‘historical revival’ might be a twentieth century idea whose time has passed.
Always fascinating, plus who doesn’t love underpants references.

Silas Dilworth’s excellent Breuer typeface had added a condensed version. Breur Text always seemed to me to be a more versatile Klavika.
