Font of April 4th: Gaslon



Gaslon by Canada Type is a great display font, its warm curves cry for tightly set headlines :) It's also very affordable: $19 for 2 weights (Gaslon and Gaslon Alt). Don't forget to check the rest of their fonts, great stuff!

Font of April 3rd: Relato


Relato by emtype is a very legible Serif face, with beautiful italics; equally great for long passages or short headlines! At $55/weight it's not the cheapest font to get, but look at that G! Totally worth it! And Relato Sans is there too!

Font of April 2nd: Popular



Popular by Christian Schwartz is a very legible Slab Serif, which obviously started as "DIN, but with slabs". Of course his other fonts are worth a long and recurring look. What I like most: he always writes a small story regarding the font, and what he learnt designing it.

Fontstruct by FontShop: Free font editor




How cool is that? With this tool you can create your own modular fonts. There is some great stuff in the gallery already, well worth a look!

Font of April 1st: Kridpages


T26 presents Kridpages, which works surprisingly well (for a display font) in small sizes. And it's only $19/weight!

Rock with Underware




Underware is giving away a free version of Fakir! No, wait, that sounded misleading, they do give it away, but only for a purpose and for a limited time, here's the passage from the EULA:

If you downloaded this font with the ‘Rock with Fakir’-package from www.underware.nl, a temporary testing license is granted. This typeface ‘Fakir Rock.otf’ can only be used to create a contribution for the ‘Rock with Fakir’-
competition.
Any other use is prohibited. The temporary testing license will expire as soon the ‘Rock with Fakir’-competition is finished, but in any case not any later than by the end of June 2008.


So play fair, and you may even win something. Good luck!

Font of the day: Ronnia



Ronnia by Veronika Burian (check out her work, it's outstanding! FF Maiola was a TDC winner, and I guess Karmina and Bree will be a success too) and José Scaglione is a robust humanistic Sans with a lot of OpenType Pro features. I especially like the bold weights and the @. The italic k is also very nice. Get it at typetogether (starting at $35/weight)
