Inspired by the label of a humble shipping box, @xyz_type’s Export has eccentric shapes that command attention, while its rough edges lend a soft finish to the face’s blocky heft. 👉 See Export here: https://t.co/iOTqjzJriQ

A nice case study on the bespoke #typography of @xyz_type for a 2018 @dartmouthsports rebrand designed by @heartgutsgrit. Fits perfectly in the endzone. https://t.co/qvgCdGDV9K

Big thanks to @TypismCommunity for listing my Lettering Manual among their fav lettering books! I’m in good company with Ivan Castro and @jessicahische and a bunch of other talented authors. Check out the post on the Typism blog: https://t.co/eHTIlOMZUY

We love @OHnoTypeCo here at XYZ, so we were beyond excited to be allowed to ramble on the Ohno podcast. Thank you James for keeping @benkiel distracted from @TypographicsNYC fomo!

A brief history of the @RollingStone logo, including the latest from @jesseragan. Animated by Amy Auman. #RollingStone #LogoDesign #Logo #branding

This Friday, at 3pm ET, we’re going to do another IG Live; this time on everyone’s favorite topic, Licensing. Come grill us on our license, let us know what you find confusing, watch us find edge cases in our EULA! https://t.co/M8OeBwS6KD

Trial fonts with limited character sets are—well—limiting. So, we came up with paid trials: $20 for a family: all the styles, full features and character sets, and print and web fonts. If they work, we credit you that $20 when you buy a full license. https://t.co/CxNGKE3Qaw

The cover reveal! (And the lettering conceal...)

Read our case study to see the whole system, and get a little history lesson too. (6/6)

Thanks to @RollingStone’s CD Joe Hutchinson, CEO Gus Wenner, and EIC @NoahShachtman for entrusting us with their iconic brand. And to @RogerBlack and @TypeNetwork for inviting us onto this journey. (5/6)

The system launched today on Rolling Stone’s website and will appear soon on the cover of the magazine, too. (4/6)

Anticipating the wide range of ways the logo would be used, Jesse designed not just one logo, but a suite of them. (3/6)

Few magazines have a visual presence as iconic as Rolling Stone’s: outlandish, ornate, and memorable. Working with Type Network, Jesse got to create his own spin incorporating elements of the three previous iterations—all designed by the unparalleled Jim Parkinson. (2/6)

The new Rolling Stone logo, designed by @jesseragan. (Trust us, we can’t believe we got this project either!) https://t.co/NqYTWIYBVP (1/6)

Remember unboxing fonts? #1990s

Or, the custom typeface we did for @Polymodestudio, Polymode: https://t.co/B6M8wwAVyL

This means that you can license —right now!— @jesseragan’s Elevator and Escalator ( https://t.co/kYMfOMzeZz): https://t.co/siFixNDzrM https://t.co/nnygbJQPj1

It takes us a good amount of time to decide that something is “done,” so we have a bunch of projects that are almost done. They do no good sitting on our SSDs, so we added in progress fonts to the new site. Read more:

The dream of “works for small and large sizes!” is fulfilled with the optical size axis in Elevator and Escalator — and you get that variable font with each weight, no need to license the whole family. https://t.co/siFixNDzrM & https://t.co/nnygbJQPj1
