Classic Track Takes Me Back is a collection of colorful anecdotes and icons which refer to the golden era of House music during the late 80’s and early 90’s. Stories originally published as comments on YouTube videos or images pulled from dance music archival sites provide a renewed engagement with the history of dance music. Classic Track Takes Me back provides a new venue for the tales and first-hand chronicles of this phenomenon we weren’t yet alive for.

The Spencerian Revival

It’s funny how even in lettering and typography the big trends are forever cyclical. This article first appeared in 1973, in the first issue of U&lc (Upper and lower case) magazine. Spencerian script, was a style of calligraphy that flourished in the US for over 100 years as the primary style of business correspondence, until typewriters mechanised the writing of letters. It’s certainly having another revival at the moment!

U&lc, ‘The International Journal of Typographics’, was published by ITC between 1973 and 1999, the first edition was edited and art directed by Herb Lubalin. In 2010 all of the back-issues we scanned and made available on the Fonts.com blog, see the treasure trove here.

Eric Gill Series Exhibition. An advance view.

 The Eric Gill Series Exhibition will be on display in London next week. I’ve been given a unique opportunity to look through the exhibits in advance and share some of my favourite pieces with you.

The exhibition about the designs of Eric Gill will run for one week only, from 4th -10th November and will present rarely seen materials from the Monotype Archive and those of private collections together for the first time.    

Expect to see hand-drawings documenting the development of the Gill Sans typeface, test prints for display fonts that were never digitized, and copper plates revealing the production process of early letterpress typefaces.

Among the rarely seen type artefacts you can also experience interactive installations and type-inspired microbrews—all celebrating the past and future of Gill’s most beloved type designs, Gills Sans and Joanna.

Designers and type-lovers are invited to explore the new Eric Gill Series typefaces through our archive exhibition and interactive installations and workshops. Sign-up here. 

If you can’t make it, follow @ByMonotype on Instagram for sneak peeks of the exhibits.
