Website overhaul halted

If you've been to the website recently, you've probably noticed a lack of information there. I was planning to overhaul the website and turn total FontGeek DTF into a professional design-for-hire firm, but those plans have been changed.

This fall, I'll be going to school to become an English teacher and, as such, I won't have any opportunity to design new typefaces or alter existing designs at all for the foreseeable future.

With that, total FontGeek Digital Type Foundry, Ltd. is now closed. Any additional questions regarding licensing can be directed to perjys547@gmail.com

Duty now for the future,
Nathaniel L. Halley

Typography as satire

I like a keenly-crafted satire. I also like typography. So, when I came to the realisation that I have most (like 90%) of the typefaces used by the logos of corporate america, I decided to put them to good use and make them into satirical, yet honest, slogans. I have to admit, this isn't a new idea... there's a tumblelog called, oddly enough, Honest Slogans that specialises in this type of thing, but I gave it a go anyway. Here's what I came up with.

google

tumblr
internet explorer
