sexy. very sexy.
how do you keep up with what's out there, Typographica? Not like my studio would shell out for new fonts any time soon. I think they're expecting all of our stuff to come back in style like bell bottoms seem to (hey, if those stupid ponchos can come back in style, then some of our fonts better. They are just as stupid.)

Lick my descender? Oh my!
Thank you all. That's far too sweet.
mayo - Get catalogs, browse sites. If you have any type interest at all those two acts will be enough to dig you deeper into fontdom. You'll want more and more. Catalogs:

Also, Yves Peters' font reviews at typographer.org are very enlightening:

typographica, how do you feel about Nick Shin? You must know the bloke...
- mayo0
Perfect! Thanks Typographica. I was doing that stuff anyway, but I see that i must have been looking at the wrong stuff. I even devote a certain amount of time each week (projects permitting) to go through my font binder and help anyone I can on What the Font forums, but I can only help when the fonts are Pre-Melting of the first Ice Age.

Nick Shinn is a great type designer. He has a great eye for both the traditional and the experimental and his stuff is always usable.
Nick Shin is not afraid to get on the dancefloor at TypeCon or play poker all night in the party hotel room.
Nick Shinn is very opinionated.
