Font Geek ?

[Annette Curtain]

Hey you.

Like Fonts?

Feast your eyes on this lot.

Lost-Type co-op

It's niche I know but I do love it.

NETTE:-$

Ooh yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about!

[RosieH]

A font geek might indeed enjoy those typefaces...

My phone turns everything into futura so it's hard to appreciate this thread

I was at a dinner party a while back where some of the pepes started talking about fonts. Good fonts...... rotten fonts ...... favourite fonts.....and on and on and on for nearly 3/4 hour

Now I used to be a massive fan of CG Omega but Microsoft dropped it from their standard palette :'( so now I have to make do with Tahoma which is of course fine but just not as good.

Like that you mean.

Swoon. Love it.

Annette - check out a website called "A Continuous Lean" for Americana retro aesthetics.

You could download MgOpen Cosmetica, which is another Optima rip-off. It's open source. Unless of course you need it to be in Microsoft's "standard pallette"...

[Senor Chevalier]

Ooh - but I assume it goes wrong if I send to someone without the relevant add in?

[Salsaboy]

Ok got it, no it's no use for document sharing. It's not a system font and it doesn't ship with Office so unlikely to be on other people's machines. Verdana over Tahoma, personal taste. And more readable if used for paragraph text, especially at smaller sizes.

Lost Type Co's logo reminds me of House Industries! Not nearly as niche but: http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/

I love fonts! Thank you!

[Sue]

I love fonts too!

Got a whole book about them - "Just My Type" by Simon Garfield. Haven't read much of it yet though .... too many books on the go at once .....

I like "Identity" which we use for some of The Goose poster headings (though we're about to change the poster design) but it has strange spacing glitches which are very annoying if you're using it in Word, and sometimes runs letters together or puts them miles apart.

In a hurry and shouldn't be on the forum at all, so can't find an example - would have to find a pdf to post.

ETA: Just realised, if you click on the Goose link the main heading on the home page is in Identity.
