Made With FontFont book
I’ve just ordered my copy of Made With FontFont: Type for Independent Minds, and was intending to write about it upon delivery. However, the excitement is just too much. For those of you who have never heard of FontFont, it’s a collection of digital fonts that’s been going strong for 15 years now.
Made With FontFont, the book is a celebration of the FontFont library. When I get hold of my copy (where’s the postman!?), I’ll review it here.

One of my favourite FontShop fonts is Freight Sans from the Garage Fonts Foundry:

I like that font, Freight Sans. The styling of the g always interests me. Although it’s labled as a Sans, it’s not quite as difficult to glance at and read as some Sans fonts are. The a still has a nice unique shape, not rounded with a stem, though in the right context that works, too. I don’t like it when publications use Sans for the body copy, but this I probably wouldn’t mind so much.

I’m also fan of “g”. Personally, it can (the lower-case form) make or break a famiy.
