Adobe and Typekit are looking at ways to make robust typographic
controls more accessible in application UIs - starting with
Photoshop. The recently formed Adobe Typography Customer Advisory
Board was introduced in a blog post yesterday, and here's some of
what they had to say:
"We're already working on some long-requested changes to the
Photoshop UI, and plan to introduce a glyph panel in the near
future. We're also beginning to tackle the problem of simulated
type variations, so you can enable stylistic variants like Small
Caps with confidence that you're seeing what the type designer
intended."
There's more to this story over on the
Typekit blog, but a glyph panel for Photoshop has us all kinds
of excited right now.

When design firm Pentagram
puts together their annual holiday card, you can be sure it will
have people talking. This year is no exception as they poke fun at
the corporate jargon often heard around the office. The card's
design is basic in contrast with the phrases and language it
denounces. They've posted some images on their Flickr page, so flip
through the seven verses - a cross between a Dr. Seuss book and a
De La Soul track - and try to forget the time you used the word
'creovation' at the dinner table.

Voltage by Laura Worthington for Umbrella Type
Voltage is an unexpected and energetic standout in the world of
script fonts, breaking free from formal classifications while
retaining the degree of personality we treasure in hand lettering.
Voltage takes the script font in a different direction, with an
emphasis on practicality and uniformity, and with the reader's
needs at the forefront-this is a straightforward, muscular
lettering font, assertive, yet down-to-earth. This most magnetic
typeface provides 154 unique swash designs (that yield a total of
348 swash variations), 39 alternates, and 15 ligatures.
Electrifying!
