Hi!

Again some research for my font book.

I am looking for any graphic design work that uses one of the following fonts: Collis, Trinit

I'm sure you'll get some good answers, but especially for the rare ones (like Collis) your best bet might actually be asking the foundry (or the designer) directly.

For a very recent (and very visible) example of the use of Mrs Eaves, check the sleeve of Radiohead's latest album, "Hail to the Thief", done by Stanley Donwood of www.slowlydownward.com.

:sigh: I love Mrs. Eaves.

Strange how such a new font has become so popular in such a short time.

Peter Bil'ak just showed some uses of his faces at TypeCon. But I just got back from a 7 hour drive through a lightning storm, so I don't recall whether it was Eureka or Fedra or both (sorry, Peter :-\ ). Perhaps you could email him. Or someone else from TypeCon may have a better memory than I...

Peter -- whose presentation was outstanding -- showed uses of both Eureka and Fedra. The Eureka animations were simply beautiful!

William Drenttel at Winterhouse Editions has recently employed Fedra Sans (okay, not the serif, Ralf), and as you may know, the New England Journal of Medicine has -- as of the beginning of this year -- used FF Quadraat as its text face (together with FF Scala Sans). See:

Hi Jon,
thank you for the hint to the use of Quadraat!

Has anyone any other hints about the other fonts??

This page on the Linotype site shows some examples of PMN Caecilia in use.

Mrs. Eaves was used in the credits for "Run Lola Run" and, wonders of wonders, got a mention in the end credits for both Mrs. Eaves and Zuzana Licko. Unfortunately, a quick search through Google gave me no screen shots to point you toward!

With regard to Mrs Eaves, I have a pet theory that one can position oneself anywhere in a Barnes and Noble and spot the use of it on a book or magazine cover, not to mention on B & N's own signage. For better or worse, it is ubiquitous...

Two notable uses are (1) on Poets & Writers:

...and (2) on the cover of Louise Erdrich's recent (2001) book, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse:

Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich worked with Mucca Design to produce a poster using Mrs. Eaves that was distributed during the last HOW Design conference. I am trying to locate a version of this poster online, but have not had any luck so far. The strangest thing about this poster was that it was designed for Adobe to promote OpenType, yet doesn't use any of Adobe's own OpenType fonts.

french vogue uses paradox for text.
