Nathan Monk, director of the Smile Creative Agency, is working on a new project called Font Lorry.
I intend to create an online distribution platform for emerging typographic talent. Whilst at first this may appear to be a font foundry, I believe I can make this into a viable structure for typographic goods of all natures.
I will turn Font Lorry into a reliable distribution channel for designers to get original content noticed by a global audience and increase future interest in their work.
I plan to catalogue typefaces, novelty items, icons, merchandise, desktop wallpapers, limited edition prints and typographic essays
He’s looking for launch content although, by the looks of the Font Lorry Twitter account, this is starting to come together nicely. If you want to get involved then contact details are on the Font Lorry website.
