@masukomi Oh! I don't know what sort of net you've cast to look for #fonts, but I've been a big fan of Blambot for well over a decade (mostly comic oriented but a solid mix of free and paid-for styles). Thought I might put it on your radar just in case. Feel free to ignore the post since you weren't looking for suggestions either, haha ✌️
Over the past eight days, we have published 80 new Uses. Among the featured #FontsInUse are 38 #typefaces that weren’t represented in the collection before.
The debutants include brand new releases like Choppin, Euchre (@Okay) and Retiler, the custom Curtis (all 2024), and the yet unreleased Turist. The oldest newbie is Fuchs Space Age (c.1969).
There are sans, serif, slab, script, stencil, mono, rounded, pixel, eroded #fonts and more. See them all at https://fontsinuse.com
New Typeface Entry: Theda Bara https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/232222/theda-bara, an art deco style in the vein of Baby Teeth, shown by Solotype as early as 1982. Like most Solo designs, it likely originated elsewhere. More info welcome!
I have a soft spot for #typefaces that don’t really count as #blackletter but are infused with characteristics of broken script. Think Fanfare (Louis Oppenheim, 1929), ITC Honda (Bonder & Carnase, 1970), or, more recently, Eskapade Fraktur (Alisa Nowak, 2012) and Birra Bruin (Elena Schneider, 2019).
Felix Braden’s Ferryman is a fine new addition to this hybrid genre, and a convenient one: it comes in a full range of weights, with italics.
Newly added:
Stingray, a twisted 3D extravaganza drawn by John S. Allen in the late 1960s for Photo-Lettering, Inc. See it in use for a book jacket and two record covers: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/175125/allen-stingray
The newly added in-use examples span 57 years and feature 13 different typefaces, providing a glimpse into #AlbertBoton’s rich œuvre. Six of the #FontsInUse weren’t represented in our collection yet.

@FontsInUse That image alone is like walking through a small French city that still has lots of non-chain shops. It brings me back even further to family holidays in the 80s
