designtype - Profile (original) (raw)

on 29 June 2004 (#3643195)

This is a community about typography and its variety of uses. This communtiy focuses more on the design aspect of type. I.E. more on traditional font design and less on display fonts. Display fonts are cool, dont get me wrong, but there are plenty of other communities that.

This community is NOT for people wishing to share their latest font find on freefonts or whatever. Please do not post asking for someone to send a particular font or choose a font for you...again, there are other communities for that.

designtype exists because there was a piece missing in other type communities that can be filled by this one. Discussions can include legibilty, type history, personally-designed typefaces, experimental type and so on.
