If you missed the newsletter, this month’s FontFont release was one of FontShop’s most exciting in years: FF Meta Serif. Yves Peters wrote an excellent piece for FontShop Benelux on the new typeface. The article, with quotes from the creators — Spiekermann (the old master), Schwartz (the new master), and Sowersby (the impressive newcomer) — is a rare look into the process of collaborative type design.

The blogosphere is buzzing about FF Meta Serif. You can find a rundown of coverage on Spiekermann’s own journal.

Update: FF Meta Serif is the current Featured Face on the popular forum Typophile, gracing the dynamic homepage background and all topic titles.
