Just—My—Type™.
Killer typefaces, served either as fonts or Illustrator files. Fantastic for retro-styled design.

Save the MMOP
I’d definitely hit this if I were in Melbourne at the time. Then, who needs an excuse?
Over the past 2 years the MMOP has come under increased financial pressure and at this point is in a perilous position. Consequently a volunteer committee of artists and designers has been formed to undertake an extensive campaign to try and save the museum, and thus increase patronage and use of the museums print workshop facilities by artists and students. The committee is made up of designers, artists, students and print enthusiasts.
On Sunday May 17 2009 between 2 and 6pm, the museum will be open to the public. This event will take place at the museums print workshop located at 36 Moreland St, Footscray and will include live music by The Primitive Calculators, letterpress and typesetting demonstrations and a print exhibition and fundraiser – with works created by some of Melbourne leading contemporary artists and design studios.
PRINTS/EDITION OF 20, $200 EACH OR $3000 FOR A BOX OF ALL 22
Artists: Jon Campbell, Anna Ephraim, Emily Floyd, Greg Fullerton, Matthew Griffin, Lucas Ilhein, Susan Jacobs, Callum Morton, Rose Nolan, Alex Selenitsch, Richard Tipping, Ronnie van Hout
Designers/Studios: 3 Deep Desi, Alter, Chase & Galley, Fabio Ongarato Design, Hofstede Design, Studio Pip & Co., Studio Round, The Narrows, John Warwicker, Yanni Florence

Facebuster by Silas Dilworth
is a fat, phat font with a huge impact for headlines, attention-grabbers and choccy bar wrappers, I would imagine. I seriously want to taste it.

While the whole “hey I’m bored, I’m going to redesign evs again” craze is upon me, Windows machines with a standard font set might see a rather dull and lacklustre typeface in certain segments of the site. Unfortunately I’ve been hard at work milling away, trying to get a flash replacement method working.
Flash replacement entails using fancy-pants javascript methods to replace certain types of text on a web page with an embedded flash object. This allows users to see fonts and typefaces which may not be installed on the viewers’ systems, just as God the designer intends. In other words, it is a method of implementing more typographic control on a web page.
Well that’s the idea in a packet of nuts. Unfortunately I’m finding it a little annoying. I’ve implemented it before, yet the current version (2.0.6, I am led to believe) affords me quite a substantial bucket of time in which to vent my pent-up frustrations. For that I am grateful, however it was not the goal I really set out to achieve.
All I want is a functional flash replacement method. Is that so hard to ask? Toil, toil and toil some more. Oh, and this isn’t intended to be a rag on sIFR. I love it to pieces. I’m merely finding a bucket in which to spill my urge to blame my lack of debugging skills.
Task: complete.
So, back to you users looking at the old-skool, dull-as-pants typography here; I’ll get to you.
