Adobe released Minion 3
“Minion 3 introduces a new script, Armenian, as well as full IPA coverage. Other enhancements include an additional style of Greek with a traditional reverse-oblique pen angle, as well as refinements to the Cyrillic designs. Newly refined optical sizes are now available, which take advantage of the latest font technology to make Minion 3 an even more versatile tool for digital typesetting.”

1 commentDan Reynolds: My notes on the punchcutter Otto Erler
“This is a 2,300-word article on the Leipzig punchcutter Otto Erler (1890–1965), whose career began before the First Word War and lasted all the way through to his death. 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.”
