SoupBold, the first experimental Soupablog Typeface for sale. $5

In order to raise some money to continue funding soupablog.com, I'm going to start selling my own handwriting typefaces right here. And the first one is out of the gate and running:

My first experimental typeface is SoupBold, a single-weight TrueType font (works on Mac and PC). It has just shy of 100 characters*, the uppercase register is one version of my all caps handwriting; the lowercase is simply an alternate set of all caps characters. If this proves successful, future releases will cost slightly more, but will feature international characters and eventually, proper hinting, kerning settings.

Please consider purchasing your copy today for only U.S. $5, via PayPal or your favorite Credit Card using my PayPal storefront, below, and include your email address; I'll ship the .ttf file to you as a ZIP attachment in an email.

To Install SoupBold (TTF):

Windows
-Double-click the Fonts icon in the Control Panels folder.
-Drag the font file into the Fonts window to install your font.

MacOS X 10.3 or later
-Double-click the font file. A sample of your font will be displayed.
-Click the Install Font button to install your font.
-Or drag-n-drop onto Linotype or Suitcase font applications.

MacOS X pre-10.3
Drag the font file into the Fonts folder in your personal Library folder.

Pilcrow & Capitulum, Hoefler & Frere-Jones

Up until today, I assumed the pilcrow
(paragraph mark) was a backwards P.

I love learning new things.

i'm just a portal today.

industrial, classic, tech, and contemporary; typeface guru erik spiekermann has unveiled four type families' worth of house numbers — yes: the numbers by your front foor indicating your address.

but these are well-designed ........ and, besides the neutraface aluminum letters, these are the only recent foray into house numbers by a known designer. i think. available at design within reach exclusively.

i would like to welcome my brother-in-law to the blogosphere.

also, i heard just a fragment of an episode — probably  To The Best of Our Knowledge — on NPR tonight, but it doesn't correlate with what the website or podcast lists as the current episode. ARgh. Anyone happened to hear it tonight, dealing with sound and hearing and the brain? I can't remember, but think I was listening around 8pm.  Barry? TTBOOK? Can i hear it replayed on line at tpr.org? can't tell at first blush.

Good episode of Grey's tonight.

"Sudan has agreed in principle to allow a joint United Nations and African Union peacekeeping force into Darfur, UN chief Kofi Annan has said."

A San Antonio company agreed to be bought for almost 19 billion dollars.

yup, i'm just a portal tonight.

sitting here on capitol hill.  goodnight, john-boy.
