class="byline">The week in type
Hope you enjoy this week’s week in type. To kick things off, lets all give a warm hand to the makers and bakers of the fonts that made it into href="http://moma.org/explore/inside_out/2011/01/24/digital-fonts-23-new-faces-in-moma-s-collection">MOMA’s permanent collection. Particularly happy yo see Barry Deck’s href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/emigre/template-gothic/">Template Gothic in there — one of my all-time favorite quirky display types.
Be sure to read Jonathan Hoefler’s thoughts over at the exceptional href="http://kottke.org/11/01/moma-acquires-digital-typefaces-what-does-that-mean">Kottke. H&FJ see four of their types added to the collection: HTF Didot, Gotham, Mercury and Retina.

I have a copy of href="http://www.archive.org/details/earlyvenetianpri00onga">Early Venetian Printing Illustrated in my library.

You can view it online, or download the PDF. Hundreds of facsimiles of woodcut initials and decorative borders.
