NEWS LTR №14: Accountability

An update on drawings, zines and fonts.

Latin capital letter T, latin lowercase letter t. In a textured, monospaced, "Typewriter" design.
Classic LTR NCND!

I Can Confirm

If you need to refresh the old distressed typewriter you once licensed from F°n†Sh0p™, look no further, LTR NCND, Neither Confirm Nor Deny, is your title. All the original versions, with support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic are here. Let me know if you’re not sure which one you have, I can help identify.

Update for LTR Limited Grotesque

LTR Limited Grotesque got a small update with some fixes: an issue with the dot size in iogonek, an alignment issue in the lowercase h stem, the right margins of some accented variants of Z. If these sound useful to you, let me know and I will send you the new fonts. All LettError Type updates will always be available to registered users at all times. Just send me a mail. More release reports.

All LettError’s fonts

If you’re making an identity for a museum, or titles for your friends’ new short movie, posters for your local theatre, if you’re building an app, if you’re designing a book, if you’re sketching proposals for a logo, if you’re updating an existing webpage. If you work at an agency and they have that has one of those monster subscriptions to yesterday’s fonts but none of them speak to you: have a look at all those clever and charming LettError typefaces, right here.

LettError Type is not a massive, private equity owned portfolio with heavily mortgaged IP. All these fonts are mine (plus one I share). If you write me an email, I will personally write the response. If you ask for a quote, I will do the math and make a proposal. Best of all: if you need something new, I can draw it for you.

Zine

I might be working on a new one. The themes are well established: lettering, maps, bookshops, fish, interplanetary commerce, islands, trains. Will report more on this later.

Five weirdly proportioned faces. Cartoon-like, shaded.
Random faces from telly. I’m never comfortable drawing faces, but that also makes it exciting. As long as they don’t have to look like anyone in particular.

Process and Practice, printed

A fish and a six legged furry animal with letters on their bodies. The fish says "Process" and the friend says "Practice".
Process and practice: “we are not the same, but we are friends”.

I made some RISO prints of the Process & Practice friends. A3, portrait, sturdy EOS off-white paper. Cash only, in the studio. I don’t have a cost-effective way to mail these. Tubes, large envelopes, the shipping is prohibitive. But they’re here if you’re here and want one. €20.

LettError’s Socials

Many people are moving away from bully-billionaire social media, for good reasons. Funny: I closed my Twitter donkeys years ago and it was gone for a while. But now the account page is revived and says I got suspended because I broke their rules? A mystery how that works! I guess the LettError account on Instagram may meet a similar fate: apparently my lettering can be dangerous. I joined Typo.social, a quiet type / typography / lettering oriented community in the Fediverse.

Three fish on a yellow background. On the biggest fish: my address on typo.social.
Lots of type and lettering on typo.social. Not so many fish.

I have seen things.

The contours of 3 different spectacles.
My reading glasses from 2014 gave up. Broke right in two, seen enough, I guess. Without the help of said glasses I ordered the same model. Only to find out later that new ones were slightly larger. This may not be a bad thing: now I can extrapolate my 2034 glasses.

Thank you, dear subscriber, for reading the whole thing. Just for you, a drawing from a sign from Los Angeles from February 2020. I vaguely remember traveling. Now buy some fonts!

El Coyote Mexican Food. A sign on a building in Los Angeles. I love these scaffolding type signs. Massive type.
Not a paid promotion, I just love their sign. El Coyote Mexican Food. Beverly Blvd, LA. Maybe you’ve been?
