    Our favorite free fonts and tools of 2022

    Our favorite free fonts and tools of 2022 🎶It’s the final countdown, do do do doooooo….🎶 For our final newsletter and podcast for the year we’re talking about our favorite free finds of the year, featuring resources, fonts, and tools. We each picked one or two things we liked (or something we wanted an excuse to talk about again) and collected them here for you. There’s democratized design tools, a couple of fun fonts, and a big old list of other resources for you to save. Phew. That’s a wrap for 2022! What a year. A wild one of AI and gloopy fonts. We can’t wait to see what 2023 brings up. We’re taking a break until Feb, so we’ll see you in the new year. We hope you’re taking a break too and enjoying the fun things of winter (in the northern hemisphere) or summer (in the southern hemisphere), and celebrating whatever you celebrate with whoever you most like celebrating with. Most of all, thanks for all of your wonderful support this year. For coming to workshops, sending us links to check out, tagging us in stuff, listening to the podcast, reading the emails, and generally being part of the gang. We appreciate you! Micah, Olivia, and Steph x PS. If you’ve seen something over the break that you want us to see, send it our way. You can find us @theleagueof on instagram and twitter.

    Our favorite share-worthy reads of 2022

    Our favorite share-worthy reads of 2022 Friends! We are fast approaching the end of the year, which means we get to start our traditional episodes of sharing some fam favorites from the year. This week we’re sharing some articles that we loved reading, thinking, and talking about this year and have been noodling on ever since we first saw them. We’re revisiting death metal logos (which was one of your fav episodes too), genderless design, the Olympics rebrand, and our friend, OK. Next week it’s all about our favorite fonts and cool tools for the year. So keep your peepers peeled for that one. If you’ve seen something that you think we should talk about, let us know! Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram. You can find us @theleagueof on both platforms. Weekly Typographic Newsletter Links

    2022 Retrospective

    2022 Retrospective There’s a bit of a theme to this week’s articles, with a bit of a ‘using type on the web’ flavor to our links and discussions. Which is good because we get to pick Micah’s brain on some of these subtleties and clever tips on using type well in web designs. As we move into the end of the year (how?!) we’re doing a few end-of-year-y conversations. Starting with this one, which is a bit of a retrospective on the 2022 year in design. We’re revisiting the Monotype Type Trends report to see what came true, chatting about what we’ve seen in the world, and what we’ve been surprised about over the last 12 months. Let us know if you’ve seen something different - we’d love to know. If you’ve seen something that you think we should talk about, let us know! Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram. You can find us @theleagueof on both platforms. Weekly Typographic Newsletter Links

    Adobe Fonts Deep Dive

    Adobe Fonts Deep Dive Hands up if you enjoyed our conversation with DJR last week. It’s proving a popular episode - thanks for listening, we hope you enjoyed it. This week we’ve got some fresh new links to talk about, and a nerd alert that segues from last week’s interview. We’ve got some rather beautiful examples of 3D lettering created by a text to image AI generator, a riff on color fonts, UI chats, and a cool bespoke typeface out of Brazil. Our big nerdy chat this week is all about Adobe Fonts. The good, bad, and ugly of the evolution from Typekit to Adobe Fonts and how some of the mechanics work behind the scenes if you’re a designer putting fonts into the catalogue. As usual, if you’ve seen something that you think we should talk about, let us know! Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram. You can find us @theleagueof on both platforms. PS. No podcast next week as we’re taking some time off for the holiday weekend here in the US, but we’ll still drop into your inbox to give you something to read between servings of pie.  Weekly Typographic Newsletter Links
