Member Ste… Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Stilla in use: WFTP, lettering on poster inspired by Stilla, clothing label, a silly thing I did. Link to comment
Member pic… Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 And: I’ll add Stilla to the list. I’ve only seen it used once. Stilla is great, although you have to be skilled to use it well… But I think it's one of those typefaces which do not benefit from an excessive exposure. Link to comment
Member Jon… Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It may be just me, but I don't remember seeing Kepler used very much, or Alisal. This despite Robert Slimbach (Kepler) and Matthew Carter (Alisal) not being exactly unknown type designers. Link to comment
Member adn… Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 i’ve yet to encounter Bodoni Egyptian in use I just saw it used in the kid's section of the latest J. Crew catalog. I think it was the Roman or Thin weight, not sure as I don't have it in front of me. But I remember noticing the type as it was the first time I had seen it in commercial use. David Link to comment

Member Ree… Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The only place I've seen Kepler used is the Cornell Daily Sun. Link to comment
Member Sup… Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The Ascender Originals almost never come up in discussion but are actually pretty nice. Miramonte is lovely. Metro and Futura’s love child. Link to comment
Member Fro… Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks Stephen. I'm gonna have to buy that typeface. It's amazing! Link to comment
Member Yeh… Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wow..I gotta check out all these faces. To be honest..I'm quite sick of the same stuff being used over and over again...not that they're bad; but we could all use some variety once in awhile. Just had the opportunity to set a book in Mendoza and I've absolutely fallen for it:D Link to comment
Member jay… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Jay Rutherford I used Mendoza along with Interstate Bold for a corporate identity project a few years ago. They go great together! I built a font package with Mendoza normal, Mendoza Italic, Interstate Bold in the bold position and Mendoza small caps in the bold italic position. The contrasts work well, and it's easy for the architects to use on their PCs. I also used Clifford some years ago for a book – the documentation of a typography conference we held here in Weimar in 2001. It was never actually printed, rather the PDFs were burned onto a CD and sold that way. Clifford reads really quite well on screen, as well as being an excellent text face for print. I'll upload an image when I get to a computer where the drive works. Link to comment

Member Mis… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I used Stilla recently on a t-shirt for friends surprise birthday party. http://www.flickr.com/photos/typegirl/3048139893/sizes/l/ Link to comment

Member Mar… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 That's Motter Femina, not Stilla. Similar feel, though. Link to comment
Member Mis… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 :-X I knew that. Today has not been my day for logic. At all. What so ever. FAIL. Link to comment
Member Mar… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Still, another great face that doesn't get used much. Link to comment
Member hra… Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jürgen, Stephen, if you manage to convince Sumner to add italics to Silica, I will never forgive you. Don't soil such a pristine thing with the impurity that is Italic. Silica has a fine weight gradation for a reason - it doesn't need italics for emphasis, or anything else. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/18634518/ hhp Link to comment
Member Yeh… Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 @ Jayar where did you get the OSF for ITC Mendoza. I don't remember it having OSF? Or did it? Link to comment
Member ill… Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Architype Bayer-Type is based upon Herbert bayer's 1931 experimental, universal modern face. I love this one. You can find it at: http://www.foundrytypes.co.uk Link to comment
Member jup… Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Jay’s example reminded me of pairing Metron with Lucida Bright on a friends card. Printed on a Heidelberg Windmill. This was before Metron fell into a legal mess. Link to comment

Member Ste… Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hrant - You are alone in your hatred of italics. The rest of us want versatility, not your imagination of "purity". Link to comment
Member hra… Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 1) Well, not really hatred. 2) Nobody is ever alone. 3) Versatility does not exist in a vacuum; things you can't see are tugging on it. And integrity has a versatility all its own. hhp Link to comment
