LinoLetter October 2005–The LinoType Matrix Has You, Neo

The October LinoLetter announces new type products, the return of the LinoType Matrix.

Today the LinoType Library released its monthly LinoLetter electronic newsletter. Among the typographic treats:

• Xmasâ„¢Com holiday-themed symbol fonts, a set of non-denominational holiday symbols from Wiesbaden, Germany’s Fünfwerken studio
• The Kids Creative Pack, a collection of five faces full of fun and whimsy
• The new Bodebeckâ„¢ family, described as transitional letterforms in a contemporary style
• Over 205 new Asian fonts–Chinese, Japanes, Korean–from the DynaComware library.

Worth special notice is the return of the LinoType Matrix periodical. This originally ran as a quarterly newssheet from1930 to 1960, carrying information on new LinoType fonts and was a news forum on the printing trade. After a 50 year hiatus it’s back, now as a magazine, and LinoType plans to use it in much the same way.

LinoType’s current and past LinoLetters are directly available at this page; follow the “subscribe” link if you wish to have it emailed to you when it comes out.
