anybody???

I licensed it this afternoon for a possible corporate identity, but I haven’t really had a chance to use it yet. If anything leaps out I’ll let you know.

looking closer at it, i see quite a few things i would want to change. does anyone know where i can find a EULA for dstype? I didn’t find one on myfonts. do they show that kind of thing before downloading?

Paul,
I bought the face after seeing your post but have not had time to play with it. When I get home, I will look for the EULA (which I assume came as part of the download).

In my untutored view, the faces from dstype are uniformly well thought out and professionally executed. I own several, including Esta and Quaestor.

With regard to ’Esta’, I also find a few things I’d like to tweak, but overall impression is a more decorative text face with many options for setting. Somebody must like it, it’s one of the bestselling faces on myfonts.

Surely could use an OT version. The text weights, to my eye, set a little light on a desktop postscript printer, haven’t had time for production runs. IMHO, the regular text weight ampersand could be less linear to conform to the overall flavor.

No EULA came with pkg., nor is one immediately apparent at the web site.

Hope this helps.

John

Poly,
The EULA link only shows while you purchase. That is kind of wierd since some people may revise their purchase decision based on the EULA.

Paul,
Out of interest, what are the things you would change? I haven’t done a great deal with it yet, I missed small caps ligatures but then you can’t have everything.
Tim

well to start with, i’d give it the OT treatment. i don’t care abt small cap ligs, but i didn’t notice any italic ligs. lastly, there are a few characters that i would redraw. but all this is if the EULA would allow it.

Hi, Paul:
Myfonts usually gives a link to the EULA from the “purchase options” page. Have a look at dstype’s here. It stipulates no mods without permission. Of, course, there’s nothing to say you couldn’t get permission.

i knew it had to be there somewhere... myfonts is so confusing to me sometimes. thanks, john!
