  I always find it funny how when you look at the names of students attending places like the RCA, St. Martin's, etc... they're never British.

  Just bought Glosa, it's a beaut. Robust family.
  

  

  Also about to purchase Mercury (I'm stunned, we proposed Glosa for my church's main typography but they want to shell out the change for Mercury!)
  

  

  
  

  

  • ...Now we're stuck with a license for Glosa, better find another project to use it for... :/– gramme1/5

    wow, they actually chose to pay for both? can I have them too?– kelpie2/5

    Well, the critique group was wary of $1,300 for typefaces; $400 made more sense to them.– gramme3/5

    ...Then when I presented the final logo, they jumped for Mercury since it's a one-time cost.– gramme4/5

    Needless to say, I was stunned.– gramme5/5

  to be fair on your church, they made the right choice - Mercury looks more, um, er, "friendly"?

  • I agree, the only downside is that it lacks OSF.– gramme1/6

    really? that's strange for h&fj innit?– kelpie2/6

    ah just read the reason, clever bastards– kelpie3/6

    OSF?– jaylarson4/6

  Kelpie—what was the reason you came across for Mercury's lack of OSF?

  they think OSF look pretentious in a modern journalistic setting, so instead they design the figures smaller than the cap height and proportionally narrow so they fit in the flow of column text better

  and in there words:
  "Compact Figures

  In traditional book typography, old-style figures are encouraged as the standard accompaniment for upper- and lowercase text. But in a modern journalistic setting, old-style figures look pretentious. For Mercury, we’ve drawn the more conventional lining figures, but provided them at a reduced size that’s more visually sympathetic with the lowercase."
