Galaxian Hearts
This is a polit­ic­ally neut­ral post, but I thought it was so well done, that I just had to share it:

Vil­lage has also released sev­eral addi­tions to Chester Jen­kins’ Galaxie Polaris family:

Ver­sion 3 of Galaxie Polaris fea­tures some minor improve­ments and—owing to pop­u­lar demand—now comes with small caps, and Cyril­lic script sup­port.

Type & Let­ter­ing
I will begin with a recently launched web site, Let­ter­Cult. Thanks to reg­u­lar link con­trib­utor Peter van Impelen, I’ve had the pleas­ure to read this fine blog. There are already inter­views with Mark Simon­son and the won­der­ful Gemma O’Brien of Write Here Right Now fame.

Gut­bust­ingly Good
Invari­ably, these kinds of post are couched in grandi­loquence, “The World’s Best, most stun­ningly awe­some typo­graph­ic­ally awe-​inspiring found type.” And although, the search engines might love it, I just can’t do it. So here’s some stuff I found that I rather like—and I hope it inspires you.

Final Regis­tra­tion
What a hectic couple of weeks. Well, time to forget all your wor­ries, sit back and enjoy some type and let­ter­ing. The winner of the Design­ing Books com­pet­i­tion is men­tioned at the close of today’s art­icle. Thanks to all those who have sent in links and sug­ges­tions.
The other week I mentioned  Typoretum. I men­tion them […]

A new face from exljbris
Apo­lo­gies for the lack of a Sunday Type last week. I’ll be back on track from this Sunday, when I’ll also announce the winner of Design­ing Books.
Just one brief announce­ment today. Hot on the heels of an exten­ded Anivers, Jos Buivenga releases Museo Sans, the other half of his incred­ibly popular Museo:

MA Typeface Design
A new web site to show­case the work of this year’s stu­dents of the MA in Typeface Design at the uni­v­eristy of Reading.

A Brief Review
A book that car­ries the names Jost Hochuli and Robin Kinross on the cover is enough to get just about anyone’s syn­apses sal­iv­at­ing.* Design­ing books: prac­tice and theory, pub­lished by Hyphen Press is the best single volume on the sub­ject of design­ing books. Why save it for the con­clud­ing remarks. Hold this book […]

Words as Pic­tures
Thanks for your feed­back to my ques­tions about post­ing fre­quency and the length of these Sunday Type posts. I’ve decided to shorten Sunday Type just a little (though I will some­times super­size it), and also post rel­ev­ant news­worthy items through­out the week—if there are any, that is. I’m also con­sid­er­ing ‘mash­able’ posts […]

Meta goes Micro
I wouldn’t usu­ally pub­lish short items like this, but I like it, so here it is. Font­Shop has just launched a micro-​site devoted to FF Meta Serif. Some inter­est­ing con­tent, includ­ing this down­load­able PDF poster:

Get Fit With Fonts
Wel­come to another Sunday Type. Thanks to every­one who has mailed me links. To those who have mailed me ques­tions, please be patient. I have at least 200 unanswered iLT mails, and I’m work­ing through them in my spare time (and there’s not much of that).
Food, good food, is always a good place to start:
