Oh no! JAF is currently in an unhealthy range. Our foundry’s health needs attention! Even though we thought we were doing very well. Thanks for letting us know, MT.

@typographica @jaf
Might have been the most important book right before and during my #EsadType studies. It still wears an additional dust jacket I made from paper to protect it.

Hopefully all the libraries of universities with type design programmes have multiple copies stocked, now that it’s out of print.

Discovering our fonts in heavy duty industrial products is as thrilling as finding them in museums or bookshops!!

In der heutigen vernetzten Welt arbeiten immer mehr Designer an Projekten mit verschiedenen Schriftsystemen. Doch der Umgang mit einer fremden Schrift ist keine leichte Aufgabe. Es gibt viele Fallstricke. Viele davon sind unsichtbar – es sei denn, man hat gelernt, sie zu sehen.

@jaf Nice! JAF Cupidus was kerned with Kern On.

Did you know? The Cupidus italics are entirely autokerned (and partly autospaced) on the basis of the uprights, without any additional manual input. 😎
