Brand designers love the control, originality and ownership of making their own fonts. But how is custom type reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself? I wrote about why so many design studios are creating fonts and what it means for the rest of us! www.itsnicethat.com/articles/eli...
Elizabeth Goodspeed on why design studios are making fonts

Designers, typophiles, and deal lovers: get an *extreme*-ly good deal on some fonts. License Gayot New's extreme weights—Thin and Black—for the price of a single weight. BOGO, if you will. 🔠👽

Two WIP typefaces in varying states of good-ness. The first is a serif with no interesting story (drew an "a" i liked...kept drawing) and the second is my take on Dellacroce Beta (Carl P. Dellacroce, c. 1970) with some alternates and added uppercase.
