An opinion blog and my primary creative outlet. I post commentary twice a week as time allows, and a round-up of the links at the end of the week.

Lost Type Co-Op
So this is neat:
The Lost Type Co-op is a collaboration between Tyler Galpin and Riley Cran. It was founded with the intention of providing unique and quality fonts based on a pay-what-you-want model. All designers get 100% of the donations their font receives.
Like Bandcamp for typography? I’ve always thought that the pay-what-you-can model had potential for online distribution. Some people will be assholes, but as Louis CK’s recent experiment (longer post on this forthcoming) demonstrated, a lot of people will not. Seems like a good cause with a good business model and some well-designed fonts. Even cooler that one of the cofounders is a friend-of-a-friend.
