Degree Project Timeline

I have been hard at work on my degree project for the last month or two. For those of you that haven’t figured it out, I will be designing, branding, and marketing a small line of products. I am going to intentionally stay light on the details at this time, but until I have finalized a name for the product line I will be posting updates directly to this blog about the project. Above is the timeline I created for myself back when I began designing Love & Utility, if you feel like sleuthing you can probably figure out a good bit from it.

Pompadour Available as a Font (still free!)

Thanks to the wonderful Johno of I Love Typography, and the magic of the Creative Commons, the Pompadour numeral set is now available as both TrueType and OpenType fonts. I figured if John was going to go through the trouble of making Pompadour into a working font, the least I could do was add some punctuation. You’ll find a full stop, semi-colon, colon, comma, hyphen, en-dash and em-dash enclosed, all designed to work with those chunky-ass numbers. Enjoy!

It’s also worth noting that a man named Tom generously made a different set of font files for Pompadour, with a square full stop. Head on over to his blog if you get your jollies from that sort of thing.
