Hey crew,
I'm designing a logo typeface for a contemporary culture magazine: Citizen Magazine.
It's a rough sketch but I've been slowly chopping away at it for a while and I just can't look at it anymore in a critical way.

any feedback?

thanks

Hello,

For a paper I am preparing about the creative inspirations behind the birth of a typeface, I would like to know the various reasons for their birth according to each one of you who have designed a typeface.

Why do you design a typeface?
What makes you want to design a typeface?
What is the germ of inspiration?
Which are the points of departure?
and
What stages does typeface undergo from the initial concept to the final design?

I would be grateful if I can draw upon your wealth of experience to arrive at a few generalisations. Any link, image, quote, paper, publication related to this theme would be a valuable input and would be credited.

Thanks in advance.

For any NYC area typophiles still looking for a way to study typeface design this fall: SVA will be offering a version of my sold out workshop from this past summer, Turning Letters Into Type, on Monday nights from Sept. 20 through Dec. 13 (and again in the spring, so the two could also be taken in sequence as beginner and advanced versions).

There are still some spaces available and registration is here. The summer workshop was super fun, be great to have you along this fall!

Hi Friends,

Just recently I have released a new typeface named Accord Alternate: Clean, Clear, Simple, and Fresh New Sans Serif typeface.

It is available for purchase on MyFonts.com

I am a designer, and over the past 2 years I have created several typefaces (Latin 9). I have done this at my salaried job. I also do freelance design and have recently been asked to give someone a quote for a Latin 9 San-serif character set. Does anyone out there have a general pricing guide they use for freelance type design?

Details of the 2010 annual intensive short course in typeface design, to take place at Reading this summer, are now available on http://www.typefacedesign.org/tdi/TDi2010_A4.pdf . Five very full days, crammed with seminars, feedback on practical work, examination of rare material, and hands-on sessions.

Get in touch for more information.
