this weeks font author:

"Sometimes I think the form of the letters are much more interesting than the words the letters are helping to form. Brighten up dull words!"


Stephen Payne is a creative director at territory, a design collective raised in the north of england.

give him a hand and mail to stevep@territory.co.uk.

inspiring stuff - my personal favorites
#6 type -
hot designers make cool fonts
it's one of my favourite books - printed in 98 but nevertheless up-to-date. 15 designers were asked to tell a bit about their work and the inspiration behind.

fontomas is formerly known as eyesaw - the site is still available, but it'll rest in peace.

like we did for over 2 years now fontomas offers typographic experiments, downloadable for free.
envolved in the process of generating fonts are designers from the uk, the netherlands, sweden, italy, usa and germany.
there will be one font presented and downloadable for only one week (updates on wednesdays not mondays!) and then it disappears - no archive.
be there or be square (there'll be a cd-rom at the end of the first fontomas - year, just in time for xmas 2001.).

don't forget - the previous "fonts of the week" are not longer available for download.
here's what you've missed until now:
