It seems there has been a paradigm shift on the Typophile web site as well! The display face just gets a week as the highlight font and then new blood takes its place.
Good call AKMA, I added that information on the home page.
Very helpful, Nick — although now I have to lie awake wondering whether my fascination with this lovely face warrants buying a single OT font, or the whole family in the more limited package. But it’s a very, very sensible pricing scheme, I think.
You could go a long way with just the Pro Light Roman and Standard Light Italic.
The Pro Roman has small caps and alternate figures, which are a lot of fun to use, but not quite so essential for setting Italic.

Beautiful, Nick. It would be great if you explained the pricing scheme on one of the HTML pages, not only in the PDF (if you do, I couldn’t find it).

Good work no matter how long it stays up, Nick!

For such a modernist—c’mon admit it!—it has a lovely yesteryear [advertising] feel to it.

Thanks again.
c’mon admit it!
My cover is blown.
Seems high concept is merely a pretext for drawing some nice old letter shapes :-)
