Member Ric… Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Often here on Typophile’s Critique forums are presented some beautiful typefaces. As it happens, some of them gather a good deal of attention, while others will receive just a comment or two. What I very rarely have seen happening is the designer coming back to the thread announcing the release of the font. That said, here’s a short chronological list of fonts I would really like to see released in my lifetime: Tierra Nueva, by Sebastian Nagel * RELEASED! (see first comment by Jens)https://typography.guru/forums/topic/25535-forwarding Epiphany, by Oleg Macujevhttps://typography.guru/forums/topic/57571-forwarding Ernestine, by Nina Stössingerhttps://typography.guru/forums/topic/60670-forwarding Ambicase Modern, by Craig Eliasonhttps://typography.guru/forums/topic/70316-forwarding And, while to my knowledge it wasn’t ever submitted for critique, I would add the regular guest of the Type ID Board: Noir, by Frode Hellandhttps://typography.guru/forums/topic/72447-forwarding Link to comment
Member Jen… Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 One down, four to go: https://fdi-type.de/fonts/tierra-nueva/ Lucky you 😉 Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 I knew I should’ve double-checked! But that just confirms my statement about the lack of announcements… ;-) And there are typefaces you would like to see published? Link to comment
Member eli… Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Assuming you're in good health, you will see Ambicase Modern released in your lifetime. In fact, I think before summer is gone. I'd add Telefon, by Sindre Bremnes Mint and/or Feldspar, by Ben Mitchell Link to comment
Member Igo… Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'd like to see Gecko by Ben Mitchell released. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 These are good news! :-) And good additions too. Link to comment
Member Fro… Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Wow. Thanks! I’d love to see Sindre’s stuff too. And Ambicase Modern is just sick! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 It seems that Ben will feel a lot of pressure… ;-) Link to comment
Member Seb… Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 i apologize for not announcing it here yet - you just came a few days early with this thread :) tierra nueva was released just two days ago - on ralf herrmanns label fonts.info. as this site is quite germany/europe centred, i wanted to wait until it is available on myfonts.com too, which should happen in just a few days. I'll update the developement thread right after that, and I guess ralf will post a thread in the release section too. Link to comment
Member nin… Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Thanks! Ernestine is in progress. And no worries, I'll announce it for sure. :-) Link to comment
Member Ben… Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wow, I'm feeling bashful! Thanks Craig for pointing me to this thread :D Once I'm back at my desk, I'll have to decide which order to try and finish these fonts in. You bet I'll keep you updated! For me all this has to fit around my career in comms too. And some day I really hope to make it to one of these type events, and meet some of you guys too! In addition to the above mentioned fonts (which I wholeheartedly agree with), I'm very fond of Peggo's Farola and probably some others that I can't find on this — aah — slow connection right now.

Member Ben… Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Here's one more I'd like to see Pomona Display, looks like it might have gone off the boil unfortunately. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think Pomona actually shipped as Patchouli (with swashes!):http://www.bvfonts.com/fonts/details.php?id=88 Link to comment
Member Ben… Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Ah well there we are...very nice indeed. Thanks for the link Riccardo :) Link to comment
Member eli… Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ambicase Modern has been released! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wonderful news, Craig! :-) Two down, three to go, and one seems very near… Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 The “one very near” seems lost again… But Noir is finally up for critique! :-)https://typography.guru/forums/topic/92518-forwarding Link to comment
Member Ben… Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It's looking like Mint is going to be my first one published, possibly by the end of the year. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 !!! Herzliche Glückwünsche, Nina! :-) Link to comment
Member nin… Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Here's a sentence I've been looking forward to writing for years: FF Ernestine is now available. :-)https://www.fontfont.com/fonts/ernestine Edit: And there's a website for it:http://ernestinefont.com Link to comment
Member eli… Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Word is that Telefon (on my list of long-awaited releases) is coming soon! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 And I don’t know why, but i think the word could be “Monokrom” ;-) Link to comment
Member qua… Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The mention of Ernestine in this thread reminds me... while a Latin character set in Arek is yet to be made available, somehow I remember seeing in recent web searches something that resembled what I would expect it to look like... EDIT: A web search has convinced me that I am mistaken. Even though I did find something that almost looks like Arek in the Latin alphabet: Alice, designed by another typographer who came from the same educational institution... and thus at almost the same time and place. http://typemedia09.com/index.php?/graduates/marta-bernstein/http://www.martabernstein.com/index.php?/type/alice/ But I don't think it was what I imagined I saw before. EDIT: Legionary, from Tkachev, also resembles or suggests Arek, although being quite different from Alice. Link to comment
Member Fro… Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Vinter (née Noir) + Telefon is out today: Monokrom.no. So is Satyr, Faunus and Aften Screen. Link to comment
Member Kar… Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Frode, I love the website, it shows off the typefaces perfectly. Really great work. Link to comment
