Emigre Releases Fairplex
For those of you who don't subscribe to, or haven't received the latest issue of Emigre Magazine, type foundry Emigre has released a new typeface from designer Zuzana Licko called Fairplex. Like a lot of Emigre faces, Fairplex has a rustic, Americana feel, yet altered with just enough modern flair to keep it from being a retro throwback. Fairplex's roots are in lost art of American sign painting with bold black letters and thick serifs, with a slight kink to keep it new and fresh.

Heh. Kinda looks like she's channelling Les Usherwood.

He was in his 30s in the 1940s! In 1965 he was almost 50 years old.
