Before setting up shop as Outside The Line, she was a design director and art director overseeing the corporate image of various companies. After she discovered the possibilities of desktop font design, her life took a new turn. She now specializes in witty, wonderfully usable picture fonts and handwritten script fonts. From the shores of Lake Monona, Wisconsin: meet Rae Kaiser, the Lady of the Line.
He is probably Finland’s most prolific type designer, and his foundry is simply named Suomi — which, of course, is what the Finns call their country. While working with us on this interview, he realized with a slight shock that he’s been in the font game for two decades. Yet his letterforms are as youthful and fresh as ever. His most recent offerings, such as the smart handwriting face Suomi Script and the spirited Suomi Sans, show a convincing mixture of attitude and maturity. Meet Tomi Haaparanta, our man in Helsinki.
We’re working with our windows open today — spring is finally here. Of course, our figurative doors and windows here at MyFonts are seldom closed. We welcome all designers and foundries who have something new to offer (provided that it works and is legally theirs). This past month, dozens of new foundries joined MyFonts. We invite you to explore our What’s New and Hot New Fonts pages to see what they’ve come up with. You’ll also find some familiar faces there: new fonts by established foundries that have been part of MyFonts for a long time. Find out who among them have done particularly well in this new edition of Rising Stars.
