My client, Normandie, is currently touring the known United States.

The band is a side project thunk up by 3 members of theSTART; as a result, the shows become a twofer (two bands in one).

In tow they have a bunch of my tour posters (seen above) as well as some special handmade START cds doodled by the band itself (see below).

Follow their advance across the continent by jumping over to vocalist Aimee Echo’s Twitter page. As of this writing, they seem to be somewhere in the original 13 colonies  . . .  And may have been replaced by pirates.

Tour dates for both bands can be found on their MySpace pages here and here.

Jeanne Moderno Bold is this week’s featured font at Typophile; it’s being used for heads, titles etc. The experimental background on the home page changes as users post messages.

And huge thanks to Psy/Ops for not only doing the final mastering of the font, but also setting up this deal (actually, advertisement).

This summer I moved a bunch of my fonts over to MyFonts.com. They have a been a great resource for really interesting fonts, many from independents (like myself) that don’t always make it on to mainstream radar – or get lost in very large catalogs.

Today I found that one of my newest – Escoffier Capitaux – is profiled in the Fall 2008 edition of In Your Face; written up by Joshua Lurie Terrell, founder of the Typographica blog. See: 1st column, part way down.

I’d love to see it being used in a menu somewhere. I’d been tinkering with it on and off for the past 5 years or so.
