The talented team of type designers behind The Designers Foundry (formerly Ten Dollar Fonts) recently sent in a lovely sampler for us to peruse. One of these gems is Wade Jeffree’s punchy Hardy typeface we featured last year (yes, the one whose promotional poster read, “It’s too easy being a c**t.”), who also heads up TDF’s branding. If you’re not familiar with TDF, they’ve created and licensed fonts for the likes of Nike, Harper Collins, Dolce and Gabbana, GAP and the BBC. Their multicoloured, double-sided samples say things like, “This will look good on my CV” and “No time for Times New,” and brilliantly show off some of their many great typefaces.
