      Monotype revives Paul Renner’s Plak typeface

      “Originally designed in 1928, Plak is something of a lost gem in the type world. Despite being drawn by Futura creator Paul Renner, it never achieved the same popularity and spent decades lacking a much-needed digital revival.”

      Adobe released Minion 3

      “Minion 3 introduces a new script, Armenian, as well as full IPA coverage.

      Dan Reynolds: My notes on the punchcutter Otto Erler

For decades, he ran the punchcutting department at Schelter & Giesecke, one of the largest twentieth-century German typefoundries – and probably one of the world’s largest, too.”
