This week, Jeanne Moderno ended up with the dubious honor of being on the
Merkwürdige Schriften 2009 (Strange Types 2009) list over at Slanted.

Thanks guys! Strange, that would be the best way to put it.

Here’s a link. Here’s the same link translated into dubious English.

When I drew Jeanne Moderno, my hopes were the fonts would end up somewhere in a cool fashion magazine.

UK-based Ponytail has em and has used them beautifully in their third issue. Website here.

Sort of a 16th century fashion magazine spread.

Used as a promo piece for my Jeanne Moderno fonts. Available as a print or on a greeting card/notecard/postcard.

I was told when I released my Jeanne Moderno fonts, they’d probably end up being used on a cereal box.

Instead, I’ll settle for this cool laundry detergent box designed by Bootleg.

. . .  And when MyFonts did a write up of my Jeanne Moderno fonts for their Rising Stars newsletter – they spent some time digging thru so they could show some of my telescoping ascenders, alternates and ligatures (above). I like to hide things in my fonts, fill the blank slots as it were.

(Below) Psy/Ops new type sample for Jeanne Moderno. Psy/Ops also carries the Jeanne fonts, they did the final OpenType mastering before release (and without their support, Jeanne could possibly still be sitting in the 10 year limbo that was part of my process).
