I always enjoy reading the monthly newsletter from myfonts.com that highlights a type designer, called Creative Characters. Issues have featured Richard Lipton, who has worked with Adobe and Bitstream to Jos Buivenga, creator of Museo (which I seem to see on every other website these days). Since I generally get to the articles right from my email, I only recently found the Creative Characters archives, which has all of the newsletters and of course a sign up form to get them yourself. I recommend reading them, and along the way perhaps you'll find the next typeface for that project you've been losing sleep over.

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your creative writing abilities have inspired me to start my own BlogEngine blog now. Really the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a fine example of it.
Thanks Eric, informative as ever.
Nice Post. Thanks so much for the info! Definitely a good read on all the font creators and backrounds. Badass
