MyFonts, of Marlborough Massachusetts, just published a book based on font designer interviews from their online newsletter, Creative Characters. Included in the newsletters (published since July 2007) and book are examples of the font types from such popular designers as Laura Worthington, Hannes Von Dohren and Marcus Sterz. Other Interviewees include David Berlow, Jim Parkinson, Cyrus Highsmith, Ray Larabie, Nick Shinn, Rian Hughes, Alejandro Paul, Dino dos Santos, Veronika Burian, Ronna Penner, Gert Wiescher, Hubert Jocham, P22, Underware and Jos Buivenga.
The September issue of the newsletter features Stuart Sandler, who co-directs no less than five foundries: Font Diner, Sideshow, Breaking the Norm, Tart Workshop and Mister Retro. “He is enamored with the lettering and typefaces of the 1920s through the 1960s, a period when letter-making was a very different craft indeed.”
The book, available from Amazon, is only $23, but you can access the interviews at the MyFonts online archive. Enjoy!
