1000 Fonts is a major new international typography book to be published by Chronicle Books in early 2009. The book is being produced by Ivy Press (www.ivy-group.co.uk) and we are looking for outstanding examples of typography to illustrate it. You are encouraged to act quickly: Saatchi & Saatchi have already bagged Agency Gothic, Berlin Sans Bold, Stuyvesant, Penumbra and Template Gothic, Sagmeister have reserved Cholla, and we have a long queue forming behind Helvetica... 1000 Fonts will cover typography in a wide variety of media, so examples ranging from publishing to corporate identity, product design to signage, are all encouraged. We are also interested to see foreign language examples of typography. Feel free to submit as many examples as you wish, using as many or as few of the fonts on our list as you like. Needless to say, the more examples you submit, the more likely you are to be included in the final book. A full list of the fonts which we are seeking artworks for is available at http://www.ivy-group.co.uk/1000_fonts/list.html. The original deadline for submissions has passed but submissions are still welcome during August. If you would be interested in showcasing your work (alongside your URL) within the book, please get in touch at the contact details below, or upload your work directly to our FTP site, along with: your contact details, client details, the date the work was produced, and the font the work was produced with. All examples used will, of course, be attributed to the designer and/or agency concerned, and if your entries are selected for inclusion, you will also receive a complimentary copy of the book. How to enter: Please send examples of your best typographic work, to: James Thomas, Senior Project Editor, The Ivy Group, The Old Candlemakers, West Street, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 2NZ, UK. Please send material on CD or DVD, not as email attachments. Alternatively, you can upload material to the Ivy Press FTP server at: Server: ftphome.ivypress.co.uk User id: ftpfonts Password: 1000fonts2008 We can also accept submissions via yousendit.

Hello guys & girls. If you're in the UK tune your televisions to BBC 1 as there is a programe called 'Imagine' which looks at the font Helvetica. It is on tonight and starts at 22:35. Here's the official description from the BBC 1 Listings Page: "Imagine... Helvetica: The story of how a typeface drawn by a little-known Swiss designer in 1957 became one of the most popular ways for us to communicate. Some strong language.
