Links + Fonts = This Post
Again I’ve fallen behind on posts, links & recommendations. So…here’s a quickie post of stuff I’ve been jotting down…
- Ecofont - Ecofont was born when designers were searching for a way to save ink from letters/fonts while maintaining their legibility. It’s a simple enough design, free font and I’m sure I can find a project where it’ll fit perfectly.
- FontCubes - I’ve recently fallen in love with fonts again…so font cubes has been a must visit site for me. Yes, I know free fonts have been given a bad reputation and more often than not, it’s been proven to be true. But I like digging around for experimental fonts, so that’s a keeper.
- Exljbris - Read an article, jotted this down site down, took a peek - decided I must come back.
- Typographica - typography news, fonts & visuals
- FontFont Catalogue - Self-Explanatory
- Font T-shirt - :) want

I was in the Novemeber 28, 2008 edition of the Chicago Red Eye and I missed it.
I finally got my 2 seconds of fame & I was too sick with the flu to realize it!
Although I missed out on getting myself a copy:( I was able to locate a pdf version online!
**special thanks to my cousin for calling & informing me that I was in the paper**
