Typophiles can surely attest: Drawing a “neutral” sans serif is incredibly hard work. Drawing one that manages to stay interesting — and even surprising — is even harder. Mark van Bronkhorst straddles the Atlantic, combining two very different graphic traditions in his new sans serif, MVB Solitaire. Spanning a wide range of weights,...
Happy new year, typophiles! In the spirit of looking back on the year that was, I thought it’d be interesting to parse through the seemingly limitless font releases of 2010 and give a few hat-tips. There are far too many excellent fonts from last year to mention even a fraction of them, but here, in
