It's a Foundry thing, it seems.

Fine point, marcox. Their retakes on existing
designs aren't always a step down. Monoline is
a great example.

In fact I'd say they're usually a step up!
It's just that revivals (especially of stuff that just got made...) turn me off.

Which might explain why favorite Foundry font is Form. Forsooth.

So did Quay get sacked, or did Sack get thrown off the quay? ;-)

Anyway, that's news to me too. I knew about the geography difference, but thought they just had a long-distance thing going on. "My cable modem saved my marriage!"

Heh. Thanks for the correction, anon.
Who's responsible for all the new designs
then, just Freda?

I wouldn't say The Foundry is always behind the times. Didn't Foundry Monoline help revive interest in the super ellipse? Surely it's a good thing to see a little less of Eurostile...

Speaking of catching trends a year or two late scoles, there has not been any Quay and Sack since their split at least that far back. He's now in NYC, she's got the studio in London.

David is still a "consultant" to The Foundry. Last I heard he was living in Amsterdam, rather than New Amsterdam.
