@db I subscribe to Eye, it takes 3 or 4 weeks to be delivered, and some times there are added taxes before delivery. But I Think it is worth it

@kentlew yes, true, its a bit distracting with that central square. They are digging up these air raid rooms from WW2. That’s almost new, compared to the Plantin buildings.

I am in Antwerp. Can see the Plantin Museum from our appartment.

A bit odd, but quite nice looking /ae from an 1929 add.

There is a new case up on Behance with the IvyBodoni font:

@elliotjaystocks
Thank you Elliot for outstanding work on the new Ivy site. I am so pleased with how it all turned out.
It was great to work with @thetypefounders team.

@fhardwig @thetypefounders Thank you Florian! IvySoft has been up on Adobe Fonts for a few months, but otherwise this is the release of both the website and of IvySoft and IvyBodoni.

NEW NEWS!

The Ivy Foundry website is up and running.
Featuring new work, new looks, and ways of using type with lots of lovely details.
Please visit Ivy Foundry. https://ivyfoundry.com/

Happy to have worked together with @thetypefounders to complete this.

@colinmford @commercial @typesupply Balto is a great choice

@colinmford That was the same sense of pride I felt when Wide Eye made the first campagne for Harris, using IvyJournal for text ✨ I guess it is just a hunt for something new

Hello, I wanted to share a few updates from Type Network. 

So far this year Type Network has been joined by more than 20 new foundry partners. We focus on the best fonts from the world's top designers, and our roster continues to include many of the most talented and celebrated in the world.

These include TypeTogether, Paratype, Identity Letters, Leinster Type, Altertype, Character Type, exljbris, Signal Type Foundry, Swell Type, Hamilton Wood Type, Herzberg Design, Comicraft, and Nova Type. We've also added these TTF foundries: P22, Lanston Type Co, My Creative Land, Typesenses, Midwest Type, XO Type, and Josh Ownby.

About 20 more foundries have agreed to join TN and are currently moving through the onboarding process. 

In the first quarter of 2024 we paid out more in royalties to our foundry partners than in any prior quarter in our history. That excludes Font Bureau fonts, which accounted for less than 5% of last quarter's royalties. That will go to zero next quarter as we end our relationship with Monotype.

Our other foundry partners earned just shy of $1 Million -- about 20% higher than our next-best quarter ever. 

Our partnership with Adobe Fonts contributed a bit less than half of that. The fastest-growing segment is enterprise sales, including $100,000+ in sales of fonts from foundries who joined TN in the current or prior quarter. 

If you'd like to consider a partnership with Type Network, let's talk. We can start out by handling a single enterprise transaction for you, then take it from there. Type Network does not require any long-term commitment from foundry partners. 

Most of our team will be at Typographics in NYC next week. If you're interested in meeting up, drop me a line - matthew at typenetwork dot com. I'd love to meet up.

See you soon!

New foundries have joined the Fine Specimens line-up and I’ve added a new reward tier that gets you 20 discounted copies and free shipping — perfect for those working in education, or who might want to give the book away as a gift or prize.

Great fun. Also a lot of

@typographica Thanks for sharing, I left Twitter right after it got sold, but before deleting my profile there, I should have tried to find the same people here on mastodon. That is my only regret.

@nicksherman @BijouType
Finally got the Big Red by mail today. I am really happy I got this book. It is in excellent shape. And the best thing: It doesn't smell of cigars like the last type specimen book I bought.

Thank you @nicksherman, I think I was lucky and got it. Even though there is a shipping cost of $96, it is still a good price.

Type engineers! The Type Founders are hiring.

@onpaperwings @nicksherman I made a positive and negative manicule in IvyEpic. Its on Adobe Fonts

So this was a huuuge project that we did last year... adding five new scripts (Arabic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, and Thai) to Forma DJR for HP Inc. via Wieden+Kennedy: https://typenetwork.com/articles/hp-forma-djr #typedesign #customfonts #globalscripts #typecommunity
