<1>New Free Font This Month: Harlow

Harlow is a monolineal outline script that recalls letterforms popular in the 1930s and 40s. Designer Colin Brignall created a strong baseline effect like that of an old automobile manufacturer logo so the lowercase letters would touch or slightly overlap in word settings. The TrueType versions of Harlow are free with any purchase on ITCFonts.com for the month of June.

<3> Font of the Month: ITC CuppaJoe - Save 10%

Nick Curtis’s inspiration for ITC CuppaJoe comes from Art Deco lettering, but not from the typical sources. Its foundation is the label art for Bokar, A&P’s premium coffee during the 1930s. Curtis built on the gently sweeping curves and bold angular strokes of the original coffee-can lettering to create a distinctive typeface that commands attention. And, at 10% off, this rich, full-bodied typeface is as satisfying as a CuppaJoe!

<4> fy(t)i: Thinking Small

Like Alice in Wonderland, type can be made to grow big or small depending on our whim. In Part II of a two-part article on font sizing, Ilene Strizver discusses when - and when not - to set display fonts at small sizes.
