  While researching the Airport Alphabet, I stumbled upon a favorite design book of mine: A sign systems manual by Alan Fletcher, Colin Forbes, and Bob Gill. It's one of the few sources that provides the original shapes of the Airport alphabet. So, I definitely had to get my hands on it. I was lucky enough to find a copy online at a reasonable price. After a long journey from the UK to Germany, first by train to Antwerp and then by mail, I was thrilled to hold it in my hands.

  Airport typeface. ✈️ New minisite. Sixty-three years after it saw the light of day, this typographic icon of mid-century modern Britain is back. Check out the minisite at: https://airport.revolvertype.com (best viewed on desktop) I’d like to thank Matthew Carter for his generous input. The text on the microsite was written by Florian Hardwig. @fhardwig I am very grateful for his expertise and commitment. German version coming soon.

  "Forgot" to return this FL 3.0 manual when I did an internship about two decades ago. 😇 If anyone is missing it let me know. 😎

  On my way to The Hague for the @fontstand conference. Looking forward to meeting old and new friends. Pretty excited being back in the city after six long years. Support independent type foundries. ✊

  @eWalthert I heard people talking about it like 12 years ago. I am pretty sure it will be soon available.
