I’ll be presenting tonight at the Magazine Library special edition of PechaKucha Night in Daikanyama. The topic: A Dozen Publications That Changed My Life.
We’ve relaunched our web journal Néojaponisme with @font-face integration, a bespoke mobile theme and enhanced readability.
Cameron McKean and I did a lengthy cross interview for the latest issue of 360 magazine from China- out soon.
We put up a small mobile-friendly site redesign for our pals Upswell in Portland recently.
Smythe Sans and a whole bunch of other new Wordshape fonts are now available via Fontspring, the indie webfont provider alternative.
Last year we released the font Kirimomi Swash Italic, which was a runaway smash hit- it’s a free font whose creation was sponsored by Onitsuka Tiger. We just reached 35,000 downloads from our assorted distributors, which, in my book, is total brutality. So, to celebrate, I put together an accompanying Jannon-inspired Roman serif that is available now from MyFonts.com.

I’ll be giving a presentation on the secret life of American type designer Oswald Bruce Cooper at TypeCon 2012 in Milwaukee this year. The conference is from July 31st through August 5th. Yuki and I will both be in attendance. Come hang out with us!
More at the Typecon website.
We recently designed new business cards for the three of us, and were paid the ultimate print design compliment in return- our business cards are some of the featured items over at FPO this week. Huzzah!
We got a great huge package of zines in the mail from the intrepid Elly Blue of Taking The Lane zine fame this week. It’s so great to see our fonts put to such great use!
Also, I was recently interviewed by the nice folks over at ID Institute in Germany. Read it here.
