Memo to me: find an excuse to buy Mark Simonson’s Mostra Nuova.
PS: my new favorite pangram is, “A quick movement of the enemy will jeopardize six gunboats.”
…I’m officially moving mine up to today.
Feel free to get me anything from Ugmonk at any time.
Doesn’t that simplify your life?
Nice. Code, by FontFabric. Also, Lot and Goudy Trajan.
This little gem from famous design studio Pentagram was a delight from start to finish. The video reminded me happily of Vinegar Hill, the quiz was short and entertaining, and if you wait between answering questions, the psychiatrist’s nervous energy is pretty darn entertaining.

Some nice stuff on the interwebs today. Smashing Magazine has a roundup of a few high-quality fonts… for free!

I can’t tell you a lot about this type face (except that I love it), because the download page is in Italian.
A brand new redrawing of Helvetica, titled Haas Grotesk! Check out that 2010-style R. That makes me happy. (Helvetica’s capital R has always bugged me.) And don’t worry, it’s an alternate character, for all you original-Helvetica-R lovers out there.
Sadly, it’s not for purchase, being part of the Bloomberg BusinessWeek redesign. (via BrandNew)
It’s okay, though. I’ll just add it to the list of Helveticas I’d like to have someday, along with the nonexistent digital cut of Helvetica Flair.
Kilogram is so rock & roll. I love it. Watch for it in designs soon. (via Smashing)
Now this, my friends, is an identity. I love this. Slice, by Manual.
