An inspired idea. Very excited about this. Is there an RSS feed?
Thanks! The RSS link is in the footer.
Absolutely love this idea. Bookmarked!
I guess Type Tide has been replaced, huh? Beautiful website, really informative articles, great job guys!
RSS and Twitter subscribed, waiting anxiously for updates.
Not replaced. Amended! This site gives me (and others) a place to add some insight about the typeface or the work. Type Tide is still good for quick snapshots where no commentary is necessary. They can coexist, but expect much more activity over here.
Congratulations to the launch, instant fav! May I request a link to a ‘recent comments’ list, somewhere? That would help keeping track of discussions/additions like this one.
Nice idea. Looking forward to watching it grow and hopefully learning a little more about type in the process.
A link to the comments feed has been added to the footer. For browsers that support the feature, you should also be able to get to it from the RSS button in the address bar. Thanks for the reminder!
Now that’s service! Thank you.
Just to clarify, I had the impression this is a Font Bureau project. It seems much larger. Can you clarify as I (and others) are sharing the main link and want to be accurate.
Hi Adam. While we are thrilled to have the support of Nick and Sam of the Font Bureau, Fonts In Use is an independent venture. We welcome other contributors, including other type makers and suppliers, to get involved. In the coming weeks we’ll elaborate on that and formalize the ways people can participate.
Finally something like this came up online. I envision it as a powerful learning tool in many GD school all over the world. Absolutely beautiful work! Please do not stop.
This site itself is a great example of typography on the web. The archive of type use is an added bonus. Really nicely done!
A question: what if followers could submit to you some interesting examples?
Hi Fabio. We welcome submissions.
I love this site. Thanks for building it. I really think it can become a great resource for study.
Great site, i just discovered it and it's already in my bookmarks. Keep expanding it and i'm sure it'll become one of designers' favs from all over the world!
This site was an incredible discovery, it opened my eyes to the world of typography, I’ve always been looking for specialized and quality content, I feel like I finally found it! Thank you very much.
