inspiring stuff - my personal favorites
#9 the late great fischerkoesen. sometimes mentioned as "the german disney", but he's kinda different. i got a videotape that features his commercial work during the fifties: dancing and singing cows, snowmen in the summer and coffee cups strolling down the avenue.
very funny - indeed.

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 no longer available for download.
