Thanks Goran! I’ll try to sell some soon ;)

“I agree Arun, but I think vi.sualize.us also looks nice”

Actually now that I look at it again, yes. It’s the Arial next to it that spoils it a bit :)

“My commercial model...”

Thanks for sharing that. I’m sure Museo would be a resounding success and enable you to keep working the way you currently are.

James, what a very nice

I’ll start collecting examples around Washington for you. There’s a new instructor at the Corcoran who is showing your stuff to students, so it’s starting to pop up around town.

I agree Arun, but I think vi.sualize.us also looks nice.

My commercial model... till recently I had none. I worked full time as an art director and type was (just) a hobby and I was happy to be able to cover my expenses with the donation I got/get.

Because I’ve become well known as ’free quality font foundry’ and because my site traffic has grown exponentially (nearly one million pageviews and half a million visitors this year) I’ve decided to make a change this year. I now work a day less per week so I’ve an extra day for doing type. The first (partial) commercial font I’ll release will be MUSEO. I’ll sell the 100 and 900 weight for a small amount and the other three weights will be free. I’ve no idea how it will work out, but I’m counting on my numbers :-)

It obviously works better in

It obviously works better in some places than in others. In the ’hugs’ and ’UoW’ examples it looks great, less so in the other two.

By the way Jos can I ask what your commercial model is? Not that I have any complaints about your giving out fonts free:) It’s great, but I’m just curious how it works.

I saw this yesterday and was proud to see it together with a brand as Panasonic ... but then again ... it was only for a contest ;)

I stumble upon Fertigo more and more btw.

It does resonate that

It does resonate that slightly magical/fairytale quality.
