FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Fontpeople [Jason Harcombe] Graduate of the TDi program in 2018 at the University of Reading. In 2017, he was appointed UK Sales Director by URW. After URW was absorbed by Monotype, he set up Fontpeople, a foundry that sells typefaces designed by John Beltran, Jason Harcombe, Max Saille, Jörn Oelsner and Iachawr Telyncombe (undoubtedly an alias for Jason Harcombe). Jason's typefaces, often rooted in URW designs: In 2020, Jason Harcombe and Max Saille published the 18-style variable sans font family Mazin and the 20-style geometric sans typeface family Cadiz at Fontpeople. Over at MyFonts, credit for Mazin and Cadiz only goes to Jason Harcombe. One of the custom fonts shown on their website is Ryman Eco, which was designed by Dan Rhatigan and Gunnar Vilhjalmsson. In 2020, Harcombe released FP Typewriter (a copy of URW Typewriter), the 20-style soft corner geometric sans typeface Zabal and the 12-style humanist sans Billie. Cooper Black (2021). A serif and stencil font family that revives Cooper Black. Chewie (2021). A plump serif in the style of Cooper Black and Windsor. Unknown designer at Fontpeople. Leyendo (2021). A 20-style text family by Jason Harcombe and Max Saille. Plentyn. A copy of VAG Rounded (Linotype). Suiza. A copy of URW Nimbus Sans. Taran. A copy of URW Egyptienne. Testun (2022). A copy of Mayonez (2013, Sergio Ramirez). Sergio was quite upset about this. There is a discussion on Typedrawers (old link) egarding the legality and morality of Fontpeople's relicensing practices. On June 23, 2022, Jason asked me to remove this article from your website. Joyce Ketterer and TypeDrawers are in receipt of legal documentation pertaining to material loss due to libel on this website and your publishing and sharing of this article will be included in any material losses we have suffered as a result. I did remoive a link for a few months but reinstated it after the November 20, 2022 discussion on Typedrawers.
