FontShop International has recently announced the release of a typeface compliation: FontStars™ 2007. This collection of “the year’s best fonts” includes three that I designed for P22: P22 Underground Regular, P22 Zaner One, and P22 Zaner One Extras. This is a quite diverse collection and includes many of my personal favorite typefaces released this year, including several that I have licensed myself (Cinescope, MVB Sacre Bleu, MVB Solano) and some that I wish I could license (Greta, Blaktur). It’s really nice to get this kind of recognition. It’s even nicer to see typeface I’ve designed in use! Speaking of Zaner, I’ve recently seen it on the shop front of Paradiso Bouidor in SoHo and on the cover of Carrie Underwood’s latest album, Carnival Ride.

Back in MyFonts news again. I’m always giddy to get a mention of something that I worked on. This time it was for LTC Italian Old Style, mentioned in this month’s Rising Stars newsletter. I’m glad that the newsletter features a new text face each month as most of the rest of the featured faces are decorative display faces. Not that there’s anything wrong with display faces, but I think that a nice serif face with a bit of character can be quite a nice change from all the fancy and frilly stuff once in a while. In fact, this is why I digitized a light (display) weight of Italian Old Style in addition to the regular (text) weight.

I was rather pleased to see a mention of Underground Pro in this month’s Rising Stars newsletter from MyFonts.com. It was good to finally see a some constructive comments on the type family rather than just a regurgitation of the general press release that was sent out when Underground was first released. I also think the newsletter’s usage of the type for their font sample (shown in thumbnail above) has been the best I have seen to show off some of the features of the font system. I need to find out who is responsible for the newsletter so I can send him (or her) an nice, big, warm “thank you!”
