Until we have our heads comfortably wrapped-around the foggy world of the mobile design experience, we have launched a basic mobile page for the Analogue web presence. From what we have learned so far, the process of detecting mobile device browsers should be much more straightforward. So, for now, we offer: m.analogue.ca

I've been itching to design type for years. I've always found the thought to be extremely exciting—and at the same time, quite daunting. I'm not the most gifted bezier curve wizard, and I know this will prove to be a big stumbling block to overcome if I were ever to become serious about it.
One area of typography I've long had a genuine love for, is the hand-made aesthetic. I love the human, often childlike quality of it. Hand-drawn type (whether rendered from a true font file, or created using custom artwork) can breath life into an otherwise run-of-the-mill layout.
So, I thought—why not mix the 2? A strong desire to (eventually) design and distribute my own typeface collection, and my appreciation and attraction to cut-out letterforms.
The above image is just a peek at what will eventually become an EPS typeset based on a classic face from 1898: Akzidenz Grotesk. My plan is to design a series of EPS typesets, all based on classic type—Futura, Garamond, Frutiger. I'd also like to include several typeset versions of several more contemporary families, such Gotham and Interstate.
Where will it lead? Who knows—but I love doing it, and right now, that's all that matters.
* Update: I was asked if I would be releasing the EPS set once complete. My first thought was "no, I want to wait until I have a full series ready". After giving it some thought, I've realized that I've been provided with enough free assets over the years, and that those assets didn't just design themselves. So, if anyone is indeed interested in obtaining a copy of this first initial typeset—email me, and I'll send you a copy once ready. It will contain all characters, both upper and lowercase, with several variations—and the standard punctuation, numerals, and extra characters. It will be exactly how I would expect and want a set to be if I were to use one.
