Rian Hughes is one of my favorite type designers. This brief interview covering his 30 years of type design and promoting his Kickstarter was wonderful. (Also, I completely backed the Kickstarter!)
Some say that it takes two people to make a successful pen-and-ink drawing - one to use the pen, and the other to stand by with an axe to kill the penman at the proper moment.
The best advice I’ve ever read about cartooning. From Arthur Ferrier, in the wonderful collection of his work put together by Rian Hughes and @koreropress.bsky.social.

TYPERACTIVE has reached £24,000 half way through the funding period, which is both unexpected and gratifying. I didn't think they'd be many people out there who'd want a big fat type catalogue, but here we are – thank you! #fonts #logo #design #type www.kickstarter.com/projects/ria...

IT LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES! Behold the glorious majesty of BASILISK! All the House of Leaves/Nabokov/Rian Hughes fans of the world, I implore you to check this out. It’s the gleefully enticing nightmare rabbit hole you’ve only just realised you’re craving.
For nearly forty years, Arthur Ferrier defined the golden age of British pin-up art through his masterful ink work and elegant portrayal of the fashionable female form. His distinctive style graced comic strips, cartoons, and advertising campaigns, making him one of the most celebrated illustrators of his era. This deluxe three-volume set features hundreds of cartoons, alongside rare original artwork, vintage magazine covers, news clippings, and historical posters. With an introduction by renowned author and illustrator Rian Hughes, plus Ferrier's own articles on illustration techniques – invaluable resources for artists working today. The Collection Volume 1: Showgirl Sirens (1940-1949) Volume 2: Burlesque Bombshells (1949-1954) Volume 3: Cabaret Cuties (1954-1968)
Kudos to @rianhughes.bsky.social and @koreropress.bsky.social for getting their 'Arthur Ferrier’s Pin-up Parade' box set into my hands a month ahead of what the Kickstarter campaign had promised. Looks great! www.koreropress.com/arthur-ferri...
Screenshot of the Filmotype / FontBros website today, showing some of their selection.
As an aside, Filmotype fonts live on today thanks to modern digitisations and expansions of their catalog. Mansfield was polished up by one of my favourite type designers, Rian Hughes, in 2012.
Not free but quite affordable, they are some of the nicest vintage fonts IMO.
