IT-FADU is a project aiming to put together a directory of all the typefaces, typographers and type foundries from all over the world, like for example Adios Script as a typeface, Ale Paul as a typographer, and Type Together (ring a bell? yes, they are the producers of Bree, one of MyFonts’ latest best seller) or PampaType as a Type Foundry.
Read the great Ale Paul interview conducted by MyFonts. Ale Paul is co-founder of SudTipos and one of the best typographers in the world.
Don’t you feel sometimes that the ‘e’ in Twitter doesn’t quite fit the rest of the characters? let alone the weird difference between the first ‘t’ and the rest of the word.

Sudtipos released today their new font Theorem. Sudtipos says that Theorem is:

You can get Theorem from Veer. Theorem was created by Angel Koziupa and Alejandro Paul from Sudtipos.
