The font used in the headline is Stone Print Roman, 48pt, with neutral kerning.

I think that my fascination for type began with transfers. I’ve always liked letter shapes, the curves and slants, but transfers turned a budding interest into a passion. I think. Letraset sheets all over the place. Remember? Maybe you’re too young to know what it was like, what do I know. Anyway. Here are some of my favourite fonts, post-Letraset era. (I say “some”, because like with music, I’m bound to forget one or more.) What’s your favourite Roman? Gothic? Modern? It would be fun to know. Comments are off.
