  7. Adopt a Unicode Character

    Riccardo Sartori commented on Ralf Herrmann's entry in Typography Weekly #24

    “Bronze ($100), Silver ($1,000) and Gold ($5,000)” I think more distributed and cheaper tiers would foster a larger adoption.

  10. Preferred site to sell your fonts?

    276ccm replied to 276ccm's topic in Talk

    Thanks a lot both of you! I read the links, and it was interesting.. :-) I´m pretty much a newbie in this game and I think maybe it´s the best for me to just get it out there, for whoever will accept it.   In the first place, I didn't make the font for the money.. well, it´s always nice to get paid for work, but I made it for the pleasure to have my own type, and for the challenge to learn how to do it. Now I´m inspired to make more, and I have some ideas.  This is a display font, and probably won't sell a lot anyway, so I was thinking to just try to get it out there.. I dont have the time to do all the promotion, and try to push it out, other than promote it on my Facebook site, where I usually show off my other work(facebook.com/276ccm), so I thought it will be best to try these sites you mention above, pluss creative market.  I tried to read on some of the pages, but I could´t find.. is it possible to sell on myfonts.com (if they accept my font) and other sites at the same time? I dont think I want to stay with just one (except my wife) :-)  Thanks again for reply! :-)

    The big ones (all owned by Monotype): fonts.com, myfonts.com, fontshop.com, linotype.com  Other resellers (among others): fontspring.com, hypefortype.com, youworkforthem.com  Alexa traffic ranking for these shops: Regarding which ones to choose, see Riccardo’s links. There are many factors beside the royalty rate.

  15. Whatever its level of simplicity or complexity, type design is a matter of integrating distinctive elements into an original body of work that opens new possibilities for users.     Nikola Djurek is a very active person. After studying both in his native Croatia and in Italy, he founded his graphic design studio, Typonine, in 2005. His growing interest in type design, however, led him to apply to the Type & Media course at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, where he earned a master’s degree. He returned to the University of Zagreb to get his PhD, after which he began to teach both there and at the University of Split. He still runs Typonine, where his activities include designing sophisticated, inspiring typefaces and typographic systems that have been awarded several prizes. Also, he makes one of his country’s finest red wines … View the full article

    You can find some comments on the topic here: Royalties and Myfonts.com Also, old, but still relevant for framing the decision: Taking Your Fonts to Market: Foundry, Reseller, or Go Solo?

  20. Preferred site to sell your fonts?

    276ccm posted a topic in Talk

    What is your preferred site to sell fonts? It's a jungle out there, but the only ones that quickly comes to my mind is myfonts.com and creativemarket.com.    Myfonts charges 50% and CM 30%   Where do you sell yours?

    Riccardo Sartori commented on Ralf Herrmann's entry in Typography Weekly #24

    “created by Canadian typeface designer Raymond Larabie.” I had always considered him more Japanese than Canadian, at least when it comes to type design
