The 2005 FontFont Calendar

Via Typographica, the 2005 Calendar from FontFont is available for download.

I'm partial to March's Cartonnage. I guess I've taken a liking to well-crafted distressed typefaces. But I also like January's Bau, April's Zwo, and August's Absara. And for a limited time, Absara Light is available for free download!

February's Flava has it's charm, and the slightly tilted axis of July's Lancé sets it apart from other condensed sans-serifs. June's Fago is impressive in a functional way; the superimposed outlines of the various weights give a sense of the typeface's range and discipline. September's Unit, likewise, is very professional, and the illustration of the First Spiekermann Dictum is just plain funny. QED indeed! And check out the Spiekerblog.
