Supria Sans by HVD Fonts
Hannes von Döhren’s contribution to the grotesque sans genre is a functional, beautiful family called Supria Sans and Supria Sans Condensed.

The incredibly talented type designer Neil Summerour launched the Sogo Japan site shortly after the earthquake disaster. The website helps people (and designers in particular) direct their donations to Japanese organizations that can deliver the most effective help. Donors who contribute $30 or more are rewarded with a custom version of his fantastic Angel Script font. Sogo Japan was designed top to bottom with his own Akagi font family, a workhorse humanist sans with 10 weights and matching italics. |

Opera 11.10 now supports WOFF format. The webfont-focused Ampersand conference is coming this June. Paul Irish reports that Firefox 4 will no longer suffer from the Flash of Unstyled Text (FOUT). |
