first he brought us Scene, Neo Sans, then Neo Tech, now Sebastian Lester gives us this gift! Soho looks so promising.

just a thought..
if they're precission engineered, why do they look so bad in their own flash presentation?

i've read that there is the constant struggle for type-makers to make non flash faces look great on screen. Its tough to judge a face used at 12pt or lower in flash, it never looks crisp. the challenge continues

wow, that face looks great. It makes you think how much work goes into something like that.
Essentially it's like designing 40 different fonts, that all have to relate and work together.
I can't image how to even begin going about something like that.
And then we all want it for free when it's years of work for someone.
Also if you look at the pdf you can see how many characters there are in each weight, way more than a standard character set.
It must be tough being a type designer these days, not only do you have to design umpteen weights, but a full multi lingual character set for each!phew, glad I'm not doing that!

good comments Baskerville.
designing a full typeface like that has to be the closest thing to architecture.
