Previews of November Releases

Rasendyll

I've just posted a sample page giving previews of some planned November new releases-Stannard (a 1920's advertising inspired small caps face), Slattery (a horizontally shaded fun face), and Vectis (classic Roman elegance, another small caps face)- on Greater Albion's blog.

Hi there,

I'm new here, and I'm student. I'm really a fan of ancient advertising typefaces but regarding your image sample file, why do you shade the type? It's totally not my concern, but I feel like it's wrong.

Nice though :)

It's down to personal preference i suppose, but I've sometimes felt that a subtle drop shadow can add a lttle emphasis against the background...
