Only proper type geeks know the pang of spotting a spanky new typeface and not being able to play with it like, straight away cause it’s too expensive or custom made or whatever. Replica had me converting Swiss Francs seconds after spotting it on the Lineto website [lineto.com/Replica]. It’s by the fine folk with the annoying website called Norm[norm.to] is rigourously designed and has the potential to knock Akkurat off it’s throne. Other recent typeface releases worth investigating:Facebuster[typetrust.com], StagDot (even though it is literally the Guardian’s [markboulton.co.uk] typeface in dot form) [vllg.com/Schwartzco/StagDot] and Doodeka[fontstruct.fontshop.com/doodeka].
