Posterony and Agamemnon

Here's one I forgot to put on the list at the beginning of the bolg:
Posterony
It's a display gothic from an old Speedball lettering book. I may try to tighten it up without as close a regard for the reference someday, but it's on the back burner for now.

I've recently posted some new samples for Agamemnon as well. Go on, have a look!

Helvetica+Baskerville= Helville?

Im not sure if anyone has attempted this already, but whatever, i've been working on the merge of these two faces into what i call Helville, mantaining the weight and proportions of helvetica with some characteristics of baskerville...
here are some screencaps of the work in progress... more to come -

Your comments will be highly appreciated as this is my first experience "creating" a typeface (i know im cheating, but its a start!)
thanks!

Help Identifying fonts

Can anyone please tell me what fonts these are?

More letter inlays

First time we used Absinette for an inlay:

It's a little joke: the customer's name is Didier, so naturally DDA gets people to pronounce it properly!

The silver ring around the black mother of pearl letters makes a little more sense in context:

A Labor of Love: ITC Stone Sans II

Named after its original creator, typeface designer Sumner Stone, the new 24-font ITC Stone® Sans II suite of typefaces expands range of widths and weights offered by the original ITC Stone Sans design.

In his role as lead designer and project director, Sumner Stone collaborated with Jim Wasco of Monotype Imaging and typeface designer Delve Withrington to rework the original ITC Stone Sans design. One of the objectives was to include an expanded range of widths and weights. “These fonts had enjoyed great popularity for many years – during which graphic designers repeatedly asked for more weights and condensed designs in the family,” said Stone. “Their comments were the impetus.”

We could use Ben Franklin on the crit forum

Here's a letter Benjamin Franklin sent to Giambattista Bodoni.

Southern African Traffic Sign Typefaces

Countries in Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Angola, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland) have signed the SADC Transport Protocol which requires them to harmonise their traffic sign systems. The SADC traffic sign system is in use throughout South Africa and is gradually being adopted in the other SADC countries. A sample direction sign is illustrated. The typeface is DIN 1451. In my opinion the stroke width is too narrow and the letters are spaced too far apart (overcompensating for the night-time halation effect), but this is the standard. There is also a bold version for use with black lettering on white backgrounds, and a condensed "Narrow" version.

Oh hell

One blog is probably enough. I probably don't need the blog bit of this. Must go explore the rest.
