@tchambers I’ve been a paying user for a year now and would not go back. YMMV

Today I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new company: Type Advisor.

I’ve had a unique and varied career trajectory, but the one constant for the past 20 years has been typography. For all sorts of reasons, I got bit by the type bug and haven’t gotten bored yet. Fonts are fun!

Did you know the typeface Gotham turns 25 years old next year?

Did you know the inspiration for Gotham started from a single sign on the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC?

Did you know Gotham was nearly named “Equator” or that Tobias Frere-Jones was concerned that the name “Gotham” was too connected with Batman comic books to be taken seriously?

Grab a coffee and spend 20 minutes reading my article over three years in the making:

@matratype @elliotjaystocks +1 from me for @buttondown

Ok, I’ve been silent on Twitter since El*n purchased it, but I’m now ready to fully delete and burn it all down.

What have people used to either just straight-up delete or backup and then delete?

My love of monospaced fonts really has no limits, so I love updating my blog post from 2021 with new monos as they are released.

Today, I’m adding Brown Mono and Excellent fromLinetoo and Server Mono from Blaze Type to the “Honorable Mentions” section at the bottom of the post: https://realdougwilson.com/writing/coding-with-character
