Just thought you'd all like to know we're still working, every day, putting things in place and so forth. To whet your appetite a little, here's a lovely photo of our 8 line Futura Medium. More progress photos over here. Also, kudos to our good friends Keegan Meegan in PDX who are also enjoying a new studio too! Can't wait to visit the new shop! We're pushing hard to open in a month. Are you excited yet? We are!

As our studio hunt continues, I can't help but link a bunch of sites I keep stumbling across. We love wood type. Wood type is awesome, and I'm very pleased to note that we have a fair amount headed for the BPS studios (probably about 1 cabinet's-worth, though it's hard to guage when they're all in paper-boxes, stored in an apartment). A LOT of it is a generic Futura knockoff, in a number of sizes (6, 8, 12, 18, and 25 line) and weights (standard and condensed widths) and some miscellaneous other fonts (Brush Script, Cooper Black, and Murray Hill, in various sizes), some unknown serifed font in 12 line (maybe?), and some mixed gothics of in various sizes and incomplete-ness. We also have some gorgeous border material, and a wicked collection of numbers in 30, 60, and 120 line size (that's 5 - 20 inches tall), and a nice set of calendar blocks. But, as much as we love wood type, there are some people out there who might just love it more. (more...)
