Maurice wrote this: I designed Fino as well as Cut-In (Medium and Bold) in the '70s which won a competition arranged by Letraset International London. These two fonts have been plagiarized subsequently. I was the first Australian designer to win the competition for new typefaces and be accepted in the Letraset range. I was getting paid for it until they stopped selling Letraset who had the copyrights and were in Letraset Catalogue. I am about to start drawing up and will be marketing Fino as well as Cut-In family range plus other ranges of fonts. In 1994 I won a Monotype N.Y. typeface competition with Cadenza. And there was another competition I won as well from a New York typehouse which I called Concept and they never gave me the prize in moneys and I forgot about chasing them therefore I cant remember the foundrys name or phototypehouses name. Note: Fino was shamelessly copied as Feena by ZETAFonts (South Africa) and Cut-In was modified/copied/mutilated by Fontalicious as Alba. |
