’Cadena’ is a lovely new type family, currently in progress, by Miguel Hernández (Latinotype). A specially offered prelease of ’Cadena (Black)’ is available through Miguel’s Flickr page, for only $5, to support the further development of the entire ’Cadena’ range. A highly recommended purchase. ;)

6 yrs on Typophile.
I just noticed that I am a Typophile member for 6 years, now. Woohoo.
Oh, how time flies, if you are having fun. ;) So this is my tribute to Typophile after some 6 years on here. (More ore less frequently.) I still love this place and the kindness of a lot of people on here is breathtaking. So with respect and thankfulness I celebrate my 6th anniversary. ;)

London, UK (THIS Weekend)
My dear fellow Typophiles, as I will be in London this weekend (Fri/sat/sun/monday) I am still looking for last minute suggestions on hidden, secret spots and things to do and see, ’over there’. What Ive already planned is not that much. I may be taking a look at the (Barnbrook) ’Friendly Fire’ exhibition at The London Design Museum. I will of course be visiting the places Ive lived and worked the last times Ive been there. Lil’ Old Truman Brewery, here I come. ;)
As always, I am very, very thankful for all suggestions and hints.
Thanks,
Dav

Domain Names For Sale
If any fellow Typophile would be interested in the domain names ’typedesign.eu’ and/or ’typedesign.info’, please, let me know. (I currently dont have the time and the nerves to maintain those domains, and keep the directory beyond alive. Still I would be happy if I knew that some type and design related individual would be continuing to use the domain, no matter what for.)
So, If anyone of you is interested in purchasing/owning these domains, please say so. :)
Thank you,
Dav
The TypeDesign.eu Directory
A steadily growing directory and ’linkfarm’ of (European) typography and type design related sites. Foundries, Designers, Distributors and much, much more.
( ’Shameless Self Promotion’, but maybe worth a visit. ’The TypeDesign.eu Directory’ is a project I recently started, collecting links to European type related sites. I am pretty sure that there still are quite a few sites missing, so if you notice / find a site that should be in there, please let me know. Site submissions are more than welcome. :)
