To all you type mavens out there:

You probably know about this, but if you don’t… There was a boffo freebie publication that came out quarterly called “U&lc” (as in “Upper and lower case”) that was chock-full of type info, history and samples of new releases. It was published, I believe, by Compugraphic or another typehouse. Definately worth getting your name on the mailing list. (PS – It’s been some time since I’ve actually seen a copy of U&lc, me being out of the design biz for several years now, so I apologize if any of the details I just gave are no longer valid.)
