Veer Type Transfers

Veer_samplepack

Some lovely stuff in the post this morning, including this rather tasty sample pack from image & type library Veer, which contains a set of six dry transfer sheets (you know, like the Letraset stuff, from the olden times).

The pack's been produced as a PR device to shout about some new typefaces they've added to their library (including Alejandro Paul's Business Penmanship, for which they've also created a bells & whistles flash page.) Though, oddly, the pack doesn't feature the new typefaces, but some of their older ones, including Rian Hughes' lovely Mellotron. But heck, free type transfers, we're not about to complain... and we've always liked Veer anyway. They just have a good vibe about them, and their copywriting hits that warm 'n' fuzzy spot without being too cutesy, which can be a tricky balance in a world where everyone seems determined to absorb the very essence of Dan Germain.

You can pick up one of the packs by registering with Veer. (Though only if you're in the UK or Germany - so bad luck to all our readers in Nauru.)

Get rubbing.
