Hello fontlovers!
Finally, after more than 2,5 years, here's a brand new issue of Fond of Fonts. In case you don't know: the purpose of this newsletter is to promote fonts and font creators across deviantArt. Because fonts are the best, most addicitve thing since chocolate cookies, but sadly also majorly underrated and in dire need of more attention.
New in this issue is the Groups section. In my absence, fellow fontfreaks started several type oriented groups you might like to join. If you know of any other groups that should be added, please leave a comment.
With that said, on to the features!

Hey there!
Wow, it's been a reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaally long time since I last posted a journal! Maybe 2,5 years? :omg: In case you're wondering, this is what happened:
1. I got a job
2. The job ate all my time and energy
3. I did not feel creative anym

Hi!
I'm so sorry for neglecting dA and not posting anything for like, the past 4 months... I started a fulltime job as a Java Software Engineer and ever since I don't seem to have energy for anything but work anymore. Oh well, at least the work's lots of fun and I get paid plenty money :D Which is convenient since I am moving to a new house next week and have to buy all kinds of new furniture!
On a different topic, an increasing number of people has been ignoring my free font usage rules, which really does not make me happy. I supply these fonts for free and all I ask is for you to
not use them commercially without my permission (if you ar

Hey there!
Last week was Stock and Resource Education Week! I had plenty of fun reading articles from and interviews with fellow resource makers. Unfortunately our little font gallery once again received far less attention than it deserves - even though bleedsopretty (https://www.deviantart.com/bleedsopretty) had a nice little interview with yours truly :) (it can be found here). So... about time for another Fond of Fonts newsletter!
I really hope you enjoy!

With plenty of time on my hands I think I am going to participate in the awesome

Hey, ik vroeg mij af of je interesse hebt om Temple-of-Typefaces in de volgende post te vermelden?
Neuton verdient naar mijn mening ook extra aandacht, mocht je weer een grote font feature willen doen.
Ik las overigens zojuist dat je fan bent van Lucas de Groot. Mag ik vragen waarom specifiek Lucas de Groot? Ik heb zelf andere lettertype ontwerpers als idolen, maar wat ik mooi vind aan de lettertypes van Lucas de Groot is het teveel aan gewicht dat hij vaak in curves gooit om het een subtiele humanistische uitstraling te geven.
Ik heb toevallig mijn lettertypes aan Gerrit Noordzij kunnen laten zien. Verder heb ik Petr van Blokland eens gemailed maar hij heeft nooi iets terug gestuurd. Heb je overigens 'The Stroke' door Gerrit Noordzij gelezen? Met name voor lettertypes met schreef is dit een mooie theorie om eens gelezen te hebben. Het heeft mij in ieder geval nieuwe inzichten gegeven en een aantal concepten voor nieuwe lettertypes.
