That's the new Schoolbook cut of Monotype's Bembo.

Stephen Coles30 Jan 2006#

New?

Bald Condensed31 Jan 2006#

No? I only noticed it a couple of moths ago. But then again I don't watch the releases of the majors too closely. I'm more interested in new goodness from indie land.

Stephen Coles31 Jan 2006#

Naw, the Bald man is never that far off. You must've been thinking of Monotype's latest Bembo release of just a few months ago.

Bald Condensed31 Jan 2006#

Argh! Confusion strikes again. Of course! :^P

Isn't this Plantin Schoolbook. It's the old Monophoto Plantin with school characters which was issued I think back in the 1980s.

jondj2431 Jan 2006#

yeah...Ken is correct...check it out.

Yep. Good catch. Bembo Schoolbook is similar but Plantin Schoolbook is right.

Stephen Coles31 Jan 2006#

Incidentally, Wallpaper used Plantin Schoolbook to good effect a few years back. I wonder if that's where Surface got the idea.

yeah...i wouldn't doubt it, those mags feed off each other.
