Bad taste at Monotype
The typophiles decry the lack of typographic passion at Monotype in 2011 in several ways. Chris Lozos an ugly ad for the 2011 release of Rotis II Sans. Others note that only the spreadsheet counts. An excerpt from their 2011 Annual Report: We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of customers, in particular manufacturers of laser printers and mobile phones. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, our top ten licensees by revenue accounted for approximately 50.8%, 47.1% and 46.3% of our total revenue, respectively. Their clientele consists of laser printing companies, publishing houses, mobile device firms, and large corporations. Others point to the visual degradation of another Monotype subsidiary, ITC. Stephen Coles points the finger at New York's design company Happy Cog. |
