Gotham is not cheap to buy legitimately. $300 for all 16 styles in the standard width. $996 for that and the Condensed, XNarrow and Narrow families. It's too bad Tobias Frere Jones was not able to take the typefaces he designed at the H&FJ foundry before he and Jonathan Hoefler had their big...

I guess it's a gusty choice? My first impression of the "F!" icon thing was someone shouting the F-bomb at the top of their lungs. Adding the "rence" part just sounds like someone is really mad at someone named "Rence."

On the topic of kerning (or letter spacing, tracking) here's one thing I find increasingly annoying: bad numeral spacing. Many older font files will have only one set of numerals and their spacing will by default be set with tabular lining. That's great for number lists in columns, spreadsheets...

Here in Lawton I see quite a few Black people of all ages wearing face masks in public. Yesterday at the YMCA I saw a couple Black women wearing masks while getting in their workouts. Lately I've seen lots of white people around town wearing masks in public too, but most of those people are in...

We went for several months with one of our design/production jobs left open. A decent number of people applied, but they all kept washing out in various respects. It's kind of surprising just how bad computer literacy is these days even though most people are hauling around smart phones and...

The situation is a lot more complicated than that. One BIG factor in this shortfall of service industry workers: retirement. Lots of age 65 and older people have been working at Walmart, McDonalds, etc to supplement their income. Now many are saying it's not worth the trouble. And then there is...

If it gets anymore difficult or expensive to buy Gerber-brand roll vinyl in specific opaque or translucent colors they're not going to stay in that business much longer. So much sign work is just getting knee-jerk output via large format digital printers more and more, even if the stuff doesn't...

Looks like a squeezed version of Saddlebag to me.

Obviously there is some kind of variable to the object(s) you're trying to save in EPS format which Illustrator will not allow. If transparency effects aren't the issue and we can't figure out what's what then obviously saving all the files in PDF format would be the best solution. Mixing...

Do you have any transparency effects applied to any of the objects, including the gradient fill? The EPS format does not support transparency. I also wonder if some of the more recently added features in Illustrator, such as free-form gradients, are supported by the EPS format. They all work in PDF.

Gradients in vector-based objects can be hit or miss with having banding issues in the print output. Some of it depends on the application used to create the graphics. The printer and/or RIP can be a factor too. Generally I get the best results printing vector gradients when using Adobe...

Using Art Brushes is a pretty easy thing to do. I prefer using it for certain text effects as opposed to the usual text on path effects because the art brush effects can yield more natural looking results. All the horizontal stems on letters will conform the curve of a given path in an art brush...

Probably not until he upgrades to Windows 10.

Actually the typeface in question looks more like a condensed weight of Motter Corpus, not Passion One. Anyway, the effects on the lettering can be accomplished using a combination of the Path Offset command for the outline effects and inner bevel for the shading functions. Take your pick on...

You're not answering the question with any hardware specifics (CPU type, RAM type/amount, Video card model & amount of on board RAM, etc) or price point on what relatively new PCs get disqualified to run Win 11. Being vague makes the problem sound worse than it really is. I'm not a fan of "box...

If you can do without it that's fine. But your use case does not in any way apply to mine. There are certain features in Adobe's software not found anywhere else. But more important than that none of Adobe's rivals can open Adobe generated AI, EPS and PDF files from corporate clients with 100%...

The second you start generating art files with a given application you begin to grow reliant on that piece of software as the collection of work files accumulates. The reliance becomes more compounded or even forced when much of a given industry makes a particular vendor's software the industry...

The speed increases you gain with new computing hardware and new generations of operating systems are soon taken away by ever increasing bloat in newer software. One example of this idiocy: an update of a Realtek audio driver in my Alienware notebook was over a freaking Gigabyte in size...

Our flatbed printer has to be left on at all times so it can continuously cycle the ink and do cleaning operations.

We have a Mimaki flatbed printer in our shop (driven by RasterLink Pro). It generally does a great job printing direct to a variety of materials. I've lost track of how many Cornhole Tournament boards we've decorated using that thing. In the few years we've had the printer we've had to have a...
