Revolver Type

@mntrs@typo.social @eWalthert@typo.social always sad to hear somebody’s passing away at such a young age. I also came across his name some years ago on twitter when he worked on his font editor. Rest in Paradise, Frederick.

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

@koeberlin@mastodon.green Real Transit Artists 👍

On my way to The Hague for the @fontstand@typo.social conference.

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends.

Pretty excited being back in the city after six long years.

Support independent type foundries. ✊

"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. 😎

Airport typeface. ✈️ New minisite.

Sixty-three years after it saw the light of day, this typographic icon of mid-century modern Britain is back.

I’d like to thank Matthew Carter for his generous input.

The text on the microsite was written by Florian Hardwig. @fhardwig@mastodon.social
I am very grateful for his expertise and commitment.

German version coming soon.

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.
