Veer
Past-vendor of Adobe, Alias, Red Rooster, Shinn Type, Letraset Fontek and Device fonts. Shinn Type's Morphica was exclusively there. In October 2003, Veer acquired Jason Walcott's Jukebox Type Foundry, and adds it to the Test Pilot Collective Foundry whose typefaces it also sells exclusively. One of the founding members is Calgary-based type designer Grant Hutchinson. One of the sub-collections is called Umbrella. In 2004, they added a few typefaces from Fountain and Font Bureau. New type announcements. In 2007, Veer was bought by Corbis, a Bill Gates company. Typographers predicted that Veer would disappear soon after that, but this did not happen. On January 2, 2012, we learned that Veer will not be acquiring and selling licences for new typefaces. The collection will be frozen in time. Veer has been acquired by iStock (Visual China Group) and/or Getty Images, and closed down on March 31, 2016. |
