Yeah, the 7 in Goudy Forum is similar, but not the 5. In fact, matching the 7 is not the hardest part. (Worcester, Serlio, Poor Richard, University Roman, to name a few, have a similar 7). Finding a 5 to go with the 7 seems to be the challenge. - Mike Yanega

> Subscription copies are often sent a month before retail stores get them. Sometimes it’s the other way around. The reason is pretty sad: some people with a subscription can’t wait, and buy the copy off the shelf. That way they end up buying two copies! :-/ hhp

Nice example, Oprion! There are a number of pre-fab font and stock options for this, such as Aridi Printers Ornaments or Bickham Script ornaments. But I have found that a pre-fab ornament rarely works. And while I’m no master swoosh illustrator. I definitely agree that drawing, even a simple rudimentary ornament, is the way to go if possible. Oprion’s brush trick is a good one. In addition to drawing shapes by hand, you...

Actually, I just saw a new issue at a Barnes & Noble, earlier this week. You’re correct. I just got back from a trip to the design magazine rack and the latest issue is in. I saw someone’s subscription copy weeks ago and it when I didn’t see it in stores I thought it had been dropped.

Rasterized text is so anti-web. Anti-accessible, anti-scalable, anti-searchable… That’s what we’ve had to do for years, and it’s about time it ended.

Is this an image you took or found on the internet? Based on the image and it being an old sign I’d be willing to bet it’s hand painted.

Write a paper about how design academia is infested with dullards incapable of understanding how anything less subtle than Keedy Sans or Dead History can be experimental. The truth is that, aside from the most servile revivals, there’s some degree of experimentation in all type design.

Personally, I feel a blog like that is in poor taste.
I have a sense of humor. And I, too, find many of these proposals to be ridiculous.
But as a professional I feel that we should be ambassadors for our craft and recognize that many of these proposals are not as ridiculous as they seem. Unfortunately, many designers take these as an affront or an insult (or are simply looking for easy ...

I’ve found that InDesign won’t allow you to insert all characters from scripts which it doesn’t support. The problem is essentially that it doesn’t actually insert that ligature when you select it from the glyph palette, but rather the sequence of base characters from which it is composed. However, in cases where the font relies on shaping features which InDesign doesn’t support, you never end ...

The second image looks as if it could be one of the bodoni weights but customized, perhaps sahara bodoni but not too sure.

Let your H&J system scale text horizontally 2–3 percent and edit copy to prevent/fix really bad lines.

FreeType might be able to do that, although its defaults are exactly what you describe.
Although I seriously doubt a character on an 8x8 grid wil look anything like the original font.
(A post-edit thought: why not draw the characters in black & white, at 200% scale, then downscale to get 4 levels of grey? Or indeed, as large as you want, and clip grey values when downscaling.)

We license fonts for print use the way we do because there isn’t a better option. Trying to license fonts on some sort of per-use basis makes business much more complicated, and then means less time drawing letters, which is not something that interests a lot of type designers. But with the web it suddenly becomes much easier to work with a service that charges per-use in some way and cuts ...

Not since Baseline got so dull that stores dropped it from their magazine racks.

In design school I spent about six months integrating my hand with the handwriting of sixteenth century writing master Jodocus Hondius. Of course that only made it less legible, but whatever.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that a EULA is a contract. One that the end user chooses to enter into when they purchase the font license.
The owner of the IP governed by the EULA can put any terms they want into that contract. For instance our EULA forbids using our fonts for political or religious uses without written permission.
And while you may feel that EULAs are vague, also ...

IMHO, what Glaser is saying is that, like microwave has affected our cooking (too many under forty today can not cook a decent meal if their life dependet on it), computer has – like microwave, by lowering the standard – eaten away the classic knowledge and craft of typographic design.
So, perhaps you should just do a really poor job in 120 seconds. :·)

A quick thought:
Can you put the mark above the type and change the direction of the clock hands to point down (to make some relations with the mark)?
(just a quick example:)
