Thanks Justin. That must have been it, although he didn’t think it was that long ago.

Chris, nice poster, but ’Trajan’? Why not ’Galliard’, or something designed by Carter?

Chris - you are one of the best things to happen to Typophile in ’05.

Mike’s got a point. Mantinia would be perfect here. The anti-Trajan by the Man himself.

pure genius!

Thanks guys.
Why Trajan? Two reasons: one, it was the font used in the original “Rockstar” movie; two, it is such a cliché movie font. I guess I was going more for comedy than for something that was done by Matthew (three, I don’t have Mantinia:-) although now I see how gorgeous it is, I am tempted to buy it!).

”...best things to happen to Typophile in ‘05.” Does that mean I have outstayed my welcome? :-)

You continue to be a great thing. But you can’t always be the best. The best thing to happen in ’06 was image upload.

Oh wait. That was 2005 too. Uh. I got nuthin’.

It’s only July - the best is yet to come!

Thanks Stephen!
and Image upload gets my vote too!

PS: and Si gets my vote for his “Backyard Sportsman” TV stint! Si, you da’ man! Now you can run for governer of California :-)

On a similar note there’s a Canadian publication called Azure that had an interview with Jonathan Hoefler a couple of months back I seem to recall.

’ The best thing to happen in ‘06 [or ’05] was image upload.’

Now you have hit on a sore point for me! Image upload only works with new operating systems. Mac OS9 doesn’t cut it any more, but the ’old’ Typophile could handle it just fine. It’s techno-discrimination I tell you!

I hear ya, Mike, but in this cruel democracy we gotta benefit the vast majority at the expensive of the few. I’ll bet the population of Typophile OS9 users doesn’t exceed 5%.

Sadly, you’re worth more than the average user. Who’s going to donate an OS X Mac to the great Mr. Yanega!? I’ll donate the time to train him!
