Introducing try-out fonts #2
Following last year success, we are so happy to launch a second set of Try-out fonts this year. The online samples, pdfs and printed specimens, online testing help to confirm if a typeface can be appropriate to a new project. But you want to be sure the quality is there. It’s only when your fonts are installed that you can really confirm if the expected quality is there. It’s why we have introduced what we call Try-out fonts. Enjoy!

This is why we love Typofonderie’s printed specimens, stickers, and other objects that reminds us of our love of typography. We are happy to announce the launch of the 2014 edition of the Typographic tote bag and its associated offers!

Typefoundries: new practices, new challenges
While stimulation and promotion are now an integral part of type design distribution, typefoundries are experiencing a real boom. After the first digital revolution started during the 80-90s, it is now the challenge of web typography and embedded typography (ebooks, applications) that foundries have to face. To present these two approaches, Raphaël Bastide and Jean François Porchez are invited by the Rencontres internationales de Lure to confront their experience.
