It seems like ‘Kurversbrug‘ is becoming quite popular. This time we spotted it in this nameplate used to identify a boat-house on the Amstel River in Amsterdam. Good election!

Recently we discovered this beautiful metal sign set in ‘Kurversbrug‘. It belongs to a nice Amsterdam’s Bed & Breakfast, “Tulipa” which is using our revival for its identity.
They also have a lovely website.

We were glad to find out Red Bull has been using ‘Kurversbrug’ for the promotion of its ‘Fierste Ljepper’ competition on TV and internet. Thanks Pieter Frank and Sid Lee for choosing it.

Argentine typographic weblog ‘Tipográficamente‘ has just published a long interview (in spanish) to David Quay that gives a good insight on the making of our latest type family Kade. Many thanks to Norbi Baruch and the rest of Tipográficamente’s staff.

On Friday 9 July, during the Typoweek conference at BAU Design Academy in Barcelona, David Quay and Ramiro Espinoza will talk about the development of ‘Bath Sans‘, a type family commissioned by Bath’s City Council and FW Design in London.
Bath City public communication system is in the process of being redesigned. A custom made type family was required to reflect the unique qualities of Bath and to reinforce local values. The new typefaces will also improve consistency and legibility of existing street signs.

Good news: Very positive reviews about Lavigne Display have been published by typographic magazine ‘Typo‘ and the Fontshop’s website ‘The FontFeed‘.
Lavigne (and Tomate) have also been accepted in the ‘Tipos Latinos‘ selection and will be displayed in an impressive simultaneous exhibition that will take place this year in many Latin American countries.

The renowned New York’s Type Directors Club has just announced that our typeface Lavigne Display has received a TDC2 2010 award. Thanks a lot, TDC. We are delighted.

‘Lavigne Text‘ is in development. The regular version is almost ready and soon italic and bold versions will follow. Here is a little sample. Stay tuned for more related news.

Inaugurating a new period in ReType’s short history, FontShop — the most important type distributor — now sells our library. We still have some champagne in the fridge and this is a good opportunity to drink it.

We are very glad to announce the german weblog Typefacts has chosen our Lavigne as one of its ‘Best Fonts of 2009‘. Vielen Dank, Typefacts!
