New Type in the House
A beautiful new typeface has been unveiled. Neutraface, a well defined architectural font , designed by House Industries, based on the work of architect Richard Neutra, is both very present and beautiful while tipping the hat to one of the masters of modernism. For anyone who has followed the works of Richard Neusta, I think they will find the new type does his legacy justice. More tongue in cheek and a swell value add is the Boomerang Chair that House Industries is offering as a complement to their new typeface.

Elsewhere, Typophile has a nice review of the new Indie Fonts book. Instead of a lengthy diatribe of the book they let the book review itself. And Daidala has a funny story about what happens when you try and talk type/fonts with people who could give a damn. I’m sure you could replace the word font for weblog or actionscripts or ipods and pretty much get the same reaction. Could it be we’ve isolated ourselves in our own world?
