The Interrogang Podcast

Have you ever wanted to find a font specimen underneath the tree on Christmas morning‽ Then you might just be...a type person. With gifting season upon us, it is once again time for Josh and Kyle to bring you their favorite physical media from indie foundries and shops, ranging from type that is cuddly to tools that facilitate play to a hat that might just help you get lucky at the bar. And we're really into pencils on this podcast if you're into that sort of thing too. Josh also has a very Grinchy present for Kyle this year, and won't be waiting until Arbor Day to give it to him...Online type shops:Letterform Archive ShopGood Type ShopLetterperson ShopHamilton Wood Type Museum ShopDraw Down BooksCounter Print BooksPresent & Correct Type specimens for your favorite type nerd:Sharp Type Volume OneA Concise Synopsis of the Commercial Type Library as of June 2024After Michaux Type SpecimenOtto: A Tale of a Boy and a Tail — ABC DinamoKelli Anderson BooksGift ideas for that last minute (or Arbor Day) gift:Typotheque Strokes ToteSpecimen Cap — Grilli TypeNebulith Throw Blanket — Space Type Co.Alphabet Runner Stamps — Present & CorrectLetter Love Postcard Set — Letterform ArchiveZuzana Licko 'g' Throw Blanket — Letterform ArchiveKarl Martens 2025 Calendar — Draw DownUniversal Stencil Plate — Draw DownSupport the show

Why do we think of neutrality as a dirty word‽ Josh and Kyle highlight what makes neutral typefaces integral to the lifeblood of modern type design, both creatively and economically. Now, it may sound like such a conversation might be pretty middle-of-the-road (ya know, neutral), but a lot of ground is covered here. Does the specter of Helvetica loom over all neutral sans designs? When should we look to remove cultural inspirations from our designs? How do serifs fit into the world of neutrality? Should you do a rollout from a moving airplane? Why is Josh still on this podcast? All good questions...Links to everything that we discussed in this episode:Baumer Grotesk from Erkin KaramemetBooton from Displaay Type FoundryAirport from Revolver TypeDegular, Retail, and Camelion from Ohno Type CoSharp Earth from Sharp TypeBig Issue from Blast FoundryThe Recast Collection from Dalton MaagGamay from Darden StudioMelun from Lift TypeParamount from Production TypeCortese Sans from Mark Van LeewenIcona Serif from Suitcase TypeGT Pantheon from Grilli TypeGT Flaire from Grilli TypeCoFo Holz from Contrast FoundryNeutraljuice, Neutraljuice, Neutraljuice!Support the Interrogang for as little as $3 a month and help us expand what Proof&Co. and the Interrogang have to offer!

What fonts are best for your scariest messages‽ It's the annual Halloween episode and the guys have unearthed a plethora of fonts to make your skin crawl. From fonts that just returned from the torture chamber, to sweet fonts with a dark side, to plant-like alien protuberances, it's a ghoulish typographic menu. Then, Josh has prepared four Halloween short stories, each requiring Kyle to conjure up a font to truly get those goosebumps working. So gather 'round a campfire for this one folks, and when you hear the clown's laughter, don't linger...Links to every terror-ific font discussed in this episode:Synch by James Plattner on Future FontsMarjoree from ShowMeFontsVery Bauble from LetterrorCascorro 18 from Manufacturas Tipográficas MadrileñasEurocat from MaxiTypeMacabre from James Coleman on Future FontsNostra Stream from Plain FormGlob from ResistenzaSupport the Interrogang for as little as $3 a month and help us expand what Proof&Co. and the Interrogang have to offer!
