Our friend @Yotam designed this newsprint specimen of Community Gothic for Typographics. “A Bed of Eels” uses collective nouns to showcase this family of fonts, & includes @domesticetch ’s essay about the design. Extra copies available in our shop: frerejones.com/goods
New on the blog: we asked Elizabeth Goodspeed @domesticetch to help tell the story behind Community Gothic. The family sums up two decades of experimentation, and the strands of type history that inspired it are more intricate than they may seem: frerejones.com/blog/grit-and-…
The story of Community Gothic begins with the sans serif “jobbing” typefaces of the 19th century: clear and durable, though often coarse, even awkward. Our family revives the gritty forms of that genre, and the patchwork sets such designs came in. frerejones.com/families/commu…
The website is back online! Thanks for your patience.
Hi all, we’re aware that our website is down—we’re working on getting it back up. Sorry & stay tuned!
Congratulations to @imaginaryforces and all of the National Design Award winners. Well deserved! @cooperhewitt

5K Followers 2K Following ¶ a figure of tollerable (sic) disorder ¶ plays & typography & writing in old books (vide milton in shax) ¶ elder-cat mom ¶ she|her ¶ all opinions my ownI am such a nerd that I get far too excited when I see a version of a Star Trek logotype I did not know existed. This is from an early draft of the script for the first movie. And that typography? All funky and "futuristic." Nevertheless, everybody, set your phasers…
Happy Valentine's Day. And, happily indeed, Alexander Girard had already joined the collection at Camp COLLINS, so love was already in the air, here. And in many different languages, too.
Design Rule 128: Here’s the secret no one will tell you. The most creative, sexy, dramatic, interesting and highly visible things you do will be less than 5% of your real work, but that’s what you will become recognized (or even celebrated) for. So you have to get that exactly…

@TheRickWilson I'm very certain Jack Smith factored this into his calculations when he decided to move venue to Florida. I predict she will either have to recuse herself under pressure, or be yanked from the case after DOJ challenges.
Just stumbled across this throwback from when I had the honor to meet @mrmucca and Nina of @frerejones at TypeCon back in 2017. Still one of the highlights of my career, and I still practice advice from the two of them to this day. Fantastic, talented people.💙
typeface 3 of 3 is here! meet Hanae, an evolution from the Old Style genre, combining the large x-height and wide proportions from Bookman, and the classic aesthetic from Times New Roman, tying familiarity and beauty, elegance and fluidity. co-designed with the amazing @ayakaito
are you ready for the second collab?! say hello to Jobim, a Vendome-inspired display typeface that infuses a vernacular approach based on the lettering from the poster of Orfeu Negro. what @ingaploennigs and I like to call a Brazilian-German reinterpretation of a French classic.
@AdamBienkov Oh so THAT'S what a conservative is. Useful
Perfect Nadine! And so writes the legend... Am forever grateful for the chance to work with Hermann Zapf.
Sometimes people ask how far back in time you could go without needing an interpreter to understand English. IMO, if you stick to London, any time after 1500 people will be more or less intelligible-ish to you, even if they can't understand your futurespeak.
@MarkHertling Well said General. I just hope that ever the last 6 months there is a large division size element learning these intricacies of Western combined arms maneuver which is what these vehicles were built for. Not to be produced by the 1,000s and easily replaceable like rus systems.
She's official! Excited to be teaching my first class at my alma mater this spring <3
