Grandia in fine print.
This post marks the first anniversary of my blog and the end of my year at the University of Reading, where I furthered my education in typeface design via their Masters degree program. It has been a good year and I learned much more than I could have anticipated. To view the results of my work and my classmates’, you can visit typefacedesign.org and view PDF specimens of each of the typefaces, including a group specimen that we had printed up. If 1) you are interested in a copy, and 2) I know who you are, I just might see that you get a copy if you ask very nicely.
Have a look at Grandia and Gandhara and please leave any comments you have on the typefaces here. Thanks for having a look!

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!”
