A new font resource

[Gare]

...at least, HypeForType is new to me. Their owner (a one-man show with a few contract players) contacted me, I told him to stop spamming me just because I'd bought one font from his site, he wrote a detailed apology, and the two of us are cool now. :)

The fellow is trying to make new and interesting fonts easy for people who do typography easy to find. Two of his Greatest Hits, NeoDeco (which you'll think "buzzes" here, but it's really fine work and needs to display at large sizes), and Calgary Script, which is casual but very powerful, can be seen here.




The next time you have a few bucks left in a budget for text that will look fresh, and almost unique in your ad, check out

Hype Fore Type .

He's a clearing house for a few boutique foundries and has other exclusives. You might find the foundry font you seek is cheaper at HFT.

My Best,

Gary

Oh, great! Another place to purchase fonts...actually I have the site bookmarked. Found it on someone's blog but haven't purchased any form their (that I recall. It's all such a blur).

But thanks for the reminder. I'll take a good look with my last $50 I have in my pocket...

In reality, that would get you 5 fonts if you pick carefully, Mike.

No, the guy and I really had a good email chat, and I did have a project where I had budgeted for some fonts, and his site gave me the "nice price", lower than MyFonts.com for certain items.

I was just having a look at this site very nice stuff. One thing though I noticed that there are licensing options for desktop, apps, games and enterprise but no simple options for webfonts. Gary, do you know if these fonts can be used as web fonts?

Oh, this conversation goes back more than a year, Frances.

Neither of us were able to locate a working email for Mr. Steffmann. The TypeOasis website is basically static (IOW, dead but available), and me, I'd err on the side of caution and use an SVG or a bitmap copy of the text.

I think you have mixed up the conversations Gary, we are talking about Hype for Type here. Dieter Steffmann was mentioned in the other thread Or am I the one who is confused?
