One of my favorite type foundries, @atipo, dropped a new font called Alcyone. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Spotted in the wild one of my less frequently used fonts, Ozrad CLM... on organic chestnuts.

Sorry to be a bore could do with some #font identity help.
Trying to find something where the S is like this. I am picturing some 80's car manufacturer.
I did try a find font by upload service, but I think I am looking for something sort of classic. (I wouldn't mind if it's a variant of a heavy arial or helvetica but those S's are much more rounded of course).

have always hated Times New Roman, deeply, passionately.
back in my desktop publishing days ―days when we were constrained to whatever came with the computer and later to bought floppy disks and cds for a handful of custom #fonts―, i switched to Garamond for the serif; limited to titles, quotes & emphasis. for the body, it was first Arial, then Helvetica in all their weights.
these days though, am team Roboto in all its faces. GoogleFonts is the only good remaining at that company…

I just finished the Pepper&Carrot new page for sharing our Fonts!
A decade ago, libre comic fonts were hard to find, especially with good accent support. So, translators, contributors and I edited and maintained our own to fill the gap.

Day 9 of Advent of Type brings a font i've mentioned before but have now renamed Peter (it sits alongside Clive forming the "boring man-names" collection). It's Pellucida (from Plan 9) with Peter's face as the pixel (that's Peter J. Weinberger). At U+2400 is SYMBOL FOR NUL which in this Pellucida is a tiny version of Peter's face.
