    Apex Type Foundry Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) www.apextypefoundry.com Please carefully read 1. LICENSES this document before any purchase. Who needs to buy the license? We recommend you Everyone who needs to install the font on its computer must have a license. to keep a copy Most of the time, graphic designers or agencies (End User) are buying the license. for future reference. Nevertheless, if a designer sells a template for which the client needs to install the font software, then the client needs to purchase its own license according to the number of workstations the font software will be installed on. How long is my license valid? All our licenses are perpetual licenses, not subscriptions: they are valid for life and only need to be payed once. Our licenses don’t have a limitation on media: you can use the font you purchased on as many projects as you want (print, web, apps…). Can I share or transfer my license? Our licenses are not intended to be shared or transferred. Each of our four types of licenses specify the number of workstations on which you can install the font software. These work- stations must be owned by the same End-User’s company and located in the same premises. If an agency hires a freelance to work within its premises and using a company-owned computer that is already included in your license, then there is no need for an additional license. However if this freelance works in another place or if he brings his own computer in the agency’s premises, then a Solo license in his name must be purchased for him.

    Helvetica Complements & Alternatives - – — ÷ •••• •••• ···· ···· r Part 1: Complements Combining Type With Helvetica H E L V E T I C A combining type with helvetica Introduction We asked experts we admire to round up typefaces that share a common use, style, or concept. Indra Kupferschmid is a German typographer and writer who lives in Bonn and teaches in Saarbrücken at the French border. As co-author of “Helvetica forever”, Indra is often asked what typeface to combine with the world’s most famous font. As Indra puts it, “Helvetica is often described as the tasteless white rice among typefaces: satisfies easily, cheap and fast. But the good thing is, you can take the design into different directions with the sauce and side dishes (the typefaces you pair with Helvetica).” Indra shares her favorite Helvetica companions with the following guidelines in mind: “Focusing on contrast makes combining fonts easier. Better not pair Helvetica (or other Neo-Grotesques) with another sans serif (like a Humanist Sans). Instead, choose a serif or a slab. Transitional and Modern (bracketed) serifs work quite well with Helvetica. So do most Garaldes like Garamond — it all depends on what kind of atmosphere you’re aiming for. Browse the list of ideas below, or look for faces with broad proportions, a large x-height, or similar characteristics, like an uppercase ‘R’ with a vertical tail.” www.fontshop.com toll free at 888 ff fonts 415.252.1003 Neutral Fonts If you’re looking for a text face and want to stay consistent by emphasizing the neutral, flawless feel of the Grotesk, try a Transitional serif.

  • French Type Foundries in the Twentieth Century Causes and Consequences of Their Demise
    French type foundries in the twentieth century Causes and consequences of their demise by Alice Savoie University of Reading, Department of Typography and Graphic Communication, September 2007 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MA in Typeface Design Abstract This dissertation recounts the evolution of French type design throughout the twentieth century, in an attempt to understand what caused its gradual weakening and the eventual demise of the industry in the 1970s. The study focuses on the activity of the French foundries and the manufacturing of type in France during the last hundred years. The first part gives an overview of the policies followed by the type foundries in the first half of the twentieth century. It shows how the French type design industry started to decline because it ignored the threat of hot metal, and developed ideas apart from the modernism flourishing in the rest of Europe during this period. In the second part, the period of prosperity that followed the Second World War is analysed. The initiatives undertaken by a hard-core of personalities to renew the type design scene and cultivate an awareness of typography are highlighted; this review is followed by an attempt to understand the sudden closure of the French foundries in the 1970s. In the third part, the consequences of this demise are studied: the slack period that followed the closure of the foundries, as well as the actions undertaken in the 1980s to establish a French education in type design. The study finishes with an appraisal of the influence of digital technologies and the internet on the French practice of type design.
