This platform bridges the two worlds, that of paid fonts and that of free fonts. It is actually very difficult to find, nowadays, some platforms that only have paid sources. It is essential to, but if you offer other differentials you can also educate your audience to contribute to designers. In this case, one of the differentials are the fonts that imitate the most famous logos in the world. Linotype Now let's see a little about the paid platforms. If you are one of those who like to feel the air of history, this place is for you. Linotype, which on its site takes us back to the time of Ottmar Mergenthaler, who in demonstrated the first Linotype invented by him, four years later he founded his company Monotype GmbH and in the company was acquired by a consortium and renamed Monotype GmbH.
Fonts such as Helvetica, Frutiger and Univers and their derived Special Data families were created in this company. "etaoin shrdlu" It seems like a magic word from some Harry Potter book, but it is actually an expression that emerged from the linotype and became famous in the universe of typography, that's why I'm telling it to you, because it's always interesting to know the stories behind it. the facts. This expression is nothing more than the sequence of letters on the linotype keyboard. When a typing error occurred, instead of manually replacing the matrix with the error, it was faster to finish the line and replace it. The quickest way to finish it was to type.
The keyboard sequence, in this way etaoin shrdlu was formed . Occasionally, it would happen that a line etaoin shrdlu would go unnoticed by the proofreader and be printed, causing surprise among the readers. Over time it became a code, to the point of being incorporated into the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's Unabridged Dictionary . Font Bureuau It's a font design studio that's been around since for high performance graphics work. It was founded by designer and media strategist, Roger Black and basically its history has been to evolve everything when it comes to media fonts. Its operations center is located in Boston and it works with a permanent team but also with a wide range of small partners.
