Fontastic Watercolor Artist
Posted by sarah

meta4.gifYou may have noticed a few changes in the magazine of late: We've changed both our name and our look to better reflect our unique readership of artists. And part of that change has to do with easing into a more reader-friendly catalogue of fonts. Frankly, we're quite fond of our new fonts (Caecilia and Meta are among them). You can experiment with fonts here, and talk about them here, if you're so inclined.

As it happens, some fonts have been making the news lately. Caecilia is the font of choice for Amazon's new e-book device, Kindle. Catch up on the hubbub here. Catch a retrospective on Helvetica, the most ubiquitous of all typefaces, at MoMA, (50 Years of Helvetica April 6, 2007–March 31, 2008.) Incidentally, Meta was one of the most popular typefaces of the last decade and is often referrefed to as the "Helvetica of the 90s."
