Jean-Pierre Lacroux

Jean-Pierre Lacroux (1947-2002) had a wonderfully informative site with tons of useful links, many to French sources, and many concerned weith orthotypography. Subpages: Bibliography on pens, paper and writing. Bibliography on ancient and modern typography. Sadly, on November 12, 2002, Lacroux passed away. His pages remain on the web, a testimony to the many hearts he touched with his kindness. A tribute entitled Typographique tombeau de Jean-Pierre Lacroux (148 pages, 2003, PDF file) was published under the editorship of Thierry Bouche and Éric Angelini. Look for Lacroux's principle: the minimal typographic quality of a text is inversely proportional to its literary value. [Google]

Jef Tombeur

Typographic afficionado who contributes links to the St. Bride Printing Library in London. This page has links to the main type sites on the web. I can't resist this wonderful short autobiography of Jef, and I do not want to translate it, because it would lose its punch: "Jef Tombeur, ex-vagabond professionnel & auto-stoppeur en Europe, au Moyen-Orient et en Amérique du Nord depuis l'âge de 15 ans, s'est rapidement tourné vers le journalisme par désoeuvrement. Vendre à la criée The International Times et The Black Dwarf à Londres, puis Le Monde à Strasbourg, l'y incita. Laissant tomber facs et école de journalisme, il contribua à rédiger, composer, gérer l'hebdomadaire franco-alsacien Uss'm Follik (Issu du Peuple), ce que facilitèrent ses origines bretonnes. Repéré ensuite à Belfort, Niort, Reims, devenant progressivement grand reporter et de moins en moins pigiste pour Libération et d'autres. Chef de desk à l'Agence Centrale de Presse, il en diffusa la dernière dépêche puis retourna à la rue et aux facultés. Ayant traduit divers auteurs anglophones au passage, tel Tom Coraghessan Boyle (cf. www.tcboyle.net), il s'est de nouveau passionné pour la typographie, en devenant le seul journaliste spécialisé français (notamment pour Création Numérique ou Pixelcreation.fr). Envisage de devenir chômeur en fins de droits et propagandiste plénipotentiaire pour Phil Martin en Afrique avant d'avoir atteint, prochainement, si possible, 55 ans. Localisé fréquemment chez Ali (bar La Gitane, près de Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, Paris) ces temps derniers." Author in 2004 of "Femmes & métiers du Livre, Women in the Printing Trades", which appeared with Talus in Belgium. It describes women typographers and printers throughout history. [Google]

Type Culture
[Mark Jamra]

Advertised as Mark Jamra's Portland, ME-based digital type foundry and an academic resource. Fonts by Jamra sold there include Alphatier, Expo Sans (5 weights), Expo Serif Pro (2008, 8 styles; it won an award at TDC2 2009), Tacitus. There is an extremely useful research directory, a great jump point for learning about type and its history. The site also has useful articles such as Jamra's article on optical image support and his article on form and proportion in a typeface. Mark Jamra (b. 1956) lives in Portland, Maine, where he designs type and teaches letterform and graphic design at the Maine College of Art. He did postgraduate work at the Basel School of Design, Switzerland, 1980-83, then worked for URW in Hamburg (where he lived for 12 years), and set up Jamra Design there. He left Germany in 1995. Creator of Latienne (1991), the modern family ITCJamille (1988), Brynmorgen Greek, Expo Sans (1995), Quelle Bold (1994), and of the multiple master text family Kinesis MM (1997) at Adobe. The schizophrenic font Alphatier won an award at Bukvaraz 2001 and at the TDC2 Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition 2002. His Expo Sans won an award at TDC2 2004. Brief bio. Speaker at ATypI 2006 in Lisbon. [Google]

[Pedro Amado]

Deactivated on November 26, 2009. Pedro Amado (Portugal) ran Typeforge, a collaborative open source type design project named after Fontforge, the free editor that is the editor of choice here.

Amado is working on Typeforge Gothic (2006), a full U&lc Grotesque Sans 1 Axis Multiple Master based on 1898 Berthold's Azkidenz Grotesk and 1905 ATF's Franklin Gothic typefaces. Paulo Silva is working on a face called NewBodonesque. An experimental font, PS2 (by "JLM", 2006) is also being developed. Great ex-page of links on typography. [Google]

There is type news, a type handbook, downloads of free fonts, links to commercial fonts, and a type museum. [Google]

Typophile: Free Font FAQ

A useful list of free fonts, but the surrounding text should be ignored: Most of the sites below are run by type designers or foundries, and they tend to offer a few dozen fonts at most. Why doesn't this page list the huge freeware websites? Take a quick look at those sites and you'll see that the fonts there are of variable quality, with not many that are good for professional design work. But even more important, many of the type designs are clearly copied from other people's work. To be fair, mixed in with the knockoffs are thousands of original fonts made by amateurs who just love type. But the lack of oversight-anyone can upload-and the confusing way that those sites mix the bad with the good, makes it hard for us to recommend them. (In the end, those sites need no help; a Google search quickly turns them up.) Below, legitimate free fonts offered by the people who created them. Huh? The silent implication is that non-foundry type is not legitimate? And that foundry type is. Cloning has been practiced by both communities with equal success, but only one of the two communities asks money for it, and only one tells the world that the other one is no good. [Google]
