HTC EVO Revolution

If you've stalled buying an Android smart phone because of the puzzling sameness among similar-looking/similarly-spec'd Android phones, be glad you waited.

You factually have never heard a smart phone that sounds - and doesn't sound - like the new HTC EVO 4G LTE.

And, you've never taken videos or still photos with a smart phone as you'll be able to with the new HTC EVO. In short, you can record HD video and snap still photos concurrently.

FontAgent Pro Server Enhanced for Agency Font

Design, print and publishing businesses face many challenges managing their font workflows for consistency, compliance and efficiency. As the size of the agencies and businesses grows, it becomes ever harder to track font licenses and usage; synchronize fonts, sets and libraries; ensure font integrity; and maintain multiple libraries. To the rescue come server-based font management solutions that are typically designed to be set up and administered by the firms's IT department.

The FontAgent Pro font management system is designed with creative professionals in mind, delivering diagnostics, repair, font selection, font book creation and design tools within a single application. The Server iteration builds on this by including server-based performance and reliability, support for multiple font libraries and formats, distribution and synchronization of fonts, and the ability to administer fonts, sets, users and groups. Insider Software refers to it as no less than "the world's most advanced solution for organizing, optimizing, distributing and tracking an organization's fonts."

Just My Type

Just My Type: A Book About Fonts is being compared to Lynne Truss's 2004 Eats, Shoots & Leaves, a quirky little book about punctuation that went on to become a best seller. It's easy to see the same happening with this newest offering from Simon Garfield, a British author of 12 books of non-fiction.

Who knew the world was full of people who not only know about these type faces, but actually care about them?

Garfield takes readers on a rollicking tour of the world of typography, from book jackets to road signs, TV shows to computers. There are 100,000 font designs in all. Again, who knew?

Graphic Typonine

Type specimen books are the plumbing-parts catalogs of graphic design. They show graphic designers the ways in which different sizes and weights of letters sit together as typeset words, and how they showcase typographic form and style. A specimen book enables a designer to visualize the mix and match new and old typefaces. Although digital type foundries now sell their fonts online, most still issue the occasional specimen books and booklets, as a nod to tradition.

Nikola Djurek, who holds a Ph.D. in type and graphic design and is the founder of the Croatian type foundry Typonine, has just issued his first specimen book. The book, which is mostly in English, was designed by Djurek and Hrvoje Zivcic, and features Djurek’s most current typeface, Delvard, which took him three years to complete. Also included are over a dozen other fonts that he’s designed during the past 10 years, along with typefaces by Strange Attractors design, Hrvoje Zivcic & Dario Devic, and Damir Bralic. Djurek’s specimen book is not huge, like those from the major hot metal type foundries of the mid-20th century, but it is ambitious for the sheer number of its variations — light, regular, medium, semi-bold, bold, condensed and italic — in the type families that he’s raised and nurtured.
