I’ve been working with my good friend and associate Michael Cina on some custom typeface projects for a very fun client. More information on these will surface soon.

I’m in the process of creating a pro version of my web font Abel. The character set will be expanded considerably from the open source version and there will also be a bold weight coming soon. This family will be available on Myfonts.com.

In other news, I have a new flickr account that will feature all of my work, old and new. Check it out.

You can take a peek at it over on my web fonts page. For those that don’t know, Lustria was one of the first text fonts that I began designing way back in 1999. It took some motivation and luck to finally get it out there. It’s rare that a font started over 10 years ago gets released. There are just too many other recent projects to get off the plate!
