Do people asking you to pay to feature in a list/index really believe that they are doing “curation”?

Little paperback designed for my friend Luca Eminenti Chanteau. Luca conducted interviews with seven young architects who chose to establish their practices in a rural environment. This humble and interesting book transcribes their discussions.
I used my own typeface Cedrat Text in Light & Bold (+italics) for the book and I’m very happy with how the whole thing turned out!
Cedrat is available @formagari@typo.social

@marsidesino@typo.social People investing in artworks are called Art Buyers, though (in this case IMO, the “buy” verb implies that they care about the art, not just the financial asset). Or you’re “buying the rights” to a song. Maybe it’s not the verb but the word “font” that gets less respect than other types of art? 🙃
Little lecture today in Hồ Chí Minh City, Việt Nam at 6 pm.
I’ll talk about my previous experience co-founding and directing the graphic design studio Large, and my more recent endeavour running my own type foundry, Formagari @formagari@typo.social
The event is organised by Thóc Field and takes place at TaCoffee.Space.

@kai @formagari Haha! Sancy is a real place, though. I was going for the classic Sancy Sans / Sancy Slab duo, but saying *Sancy Sans* out loud made me feel like I have a lisp.
I’m looking for a typeface description I read somewhere, going something like “The simple man’s Futura” (could be another typeface). Does it ring a bell?
