This free Microsoft application lets you create "synths" from large numbers of photos of the same scene or object. It's a compelling idea, although being Windows-only is something of a limitation.

Photosynth is a free Microsoft application that takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next. You can access gigabytes of photos in seconds, view a scene from nearly any angle, find similar photos with a single click, and zoom in to make the smallest detail as big as your monitor.

FF Trixie OT & FF Trixie Pro

Since its release in 1991, from “The X-Files” to “Atonement”, FF Trixie has served as the defacto typeface of mystery and intrigue. For years, it was the most convincing typewriter font available, but FontFont veteran Erik van Blokland was not satisfied. Early printing and operating systems could only handle so many points per font, so FF Trixie’s outlines weren’t as realistic as he wanted.

Orbe

A blackletter face with a unique taste of Portuguese calligraphy, Orbe manages to evoke a light and spontaneous feel despite its exotic flavor and flourished details. It’s no wonder this typeface comes from the same foundry that brought us Zanzibar and Incognito. Orbe is Rui Abreu’s first design for Fountain and, with an extensive character set, Fountain’s first OpenType release.

Haptic

2008-06-16T01:22:00.000-04:00

One of the major foundries that recently joined MyFonts is LucasFonts, led by Berlin-based Dutch designer Luc(as) de Groot. De Groot also teaches type design at the University of Applied Sciences in nearby Potsdam, and in doing so he is busy creating his own competition. Haptic by Henning Hartmut Skibbe was originally developed under Luc(as)’ supervision as a graduation project. Its retail version comes in an impressive range of seven weights — from Light to Black — each with matching italics, small caps and italic small caps.

Haptic was the result of a challenge. Henning Skibbe asked himself: “How much character can a typeface bear before losing legibility?” The answer is a delicate type family that offers maximum warmth and personality, yet meets all the requirements of an all-purpose text face. It was optimized for use in small sizes, but thanks to its soft shapes and subtle details it will work wonders as a headline face as well.

Bree

2008-06-15T01:21:00.000-04:00

Veronika Burian and José Scaglione met while completing their MAs in Type Design at the University of Reading, UK. They struck up a lasting working relationship, founding Type-Together, based in José’s native city of Rosario. The foundry’s output so far, with great text faces like Ronnia and Karmina, has been very promising. Bree is their most original font family to date. Based on Type-Together’s attractive logo, it combines an upright structure with italic-style shapes — witness the one-storey ‘a’, cursive ‘e’, and fluid ‘g’, ‘y’ and ‘z’. Alternate versions of these letters are available when a more classical look is desired. Technically, Bree is highly professional: it is impeccably drawn and comes as an OpenType family with four sets of numerals, ligatures, alternate characters, fractions, scientific superior/inferior figures and language support for over 40 languages.

Museo

2008-06-15T01:17:00.000-04:00

Dutch designer Jos Buivenga decided to take a risk when submitting his first type family to MyFonts: he wanted three out of the five weights to be offered free of charge. His daring strategy paid off; many users noticed the spirited Museo and liked it so much they bought the other weights as well, pushing the new face straight to number one on our Starlets list. Museo is a lucid semi-serif family with simple, open forms and highly original details. It makes for striking headlines, but is also very readable in medium-sized texts. Museo supports a wide range of languages and comes with several extra ligatures and alternates.

Rouge

2008-06-14T01:20:00.000-04:00

Rouge is what you might call a “novelty typeface”: witty and surprising, an alphabet that defies categorization. You can imagine members of a future tribe scribbling it on a stone wall in some apocalyptic science fiction movie. Rouge’s forms are eclectic and paradoxical: they are geometric while having a hand-made feel; several lowercase letters have uppercase shapes; some characters are strangely symmetric and simplified. If you allow us a little speculative theorization: Rouge is the alphabet remade as a set of pseudo-ritual symbols — just like the children’s myths based on an old View-Master reel in the third Mad Max film. But if you prefer to think it’s just a nice wacky font that is fun to play with — that’s fine with us.

Lettering artist Charles Borges de Oliveira has published a handful of beautifully drawn brush script fonts in the best American signpainting tradition. Check out his energetic Sarah Script or the cheeky Bounce Script. Louisiana is different. Based on the lovely handwriting of Melanie Snedeker, it is less fancy, but just as confident. It’s informal and natural, while having just the right kind of regularity to make for comfortable reading. It’s one of those legible handwriting fonts that come in handy for many design jobs ... but also for writing a letter or invitation that looks personal without being sloppy.

Bodoni Classic Ornaments

2008-03-10T15:56:00.000-04:00

With his 1993 Bodoni Classic Ornaments, Munich designer Gert Wiescher pioneered a genre that recently has become phenomenally popular. It comes as no surprise that Wiescher has continued to produce ornament packages. His output is impressive, and his latest releases include his sixth collection of Fleurons as well as five sets of ornamented borders called Ornata. Wiescher’s most successful recent font is Floralissimo. Like most of his other ornamental fonts, it is based on vintage material from old catalogs. The flowery ornaments are an elegant addition to any design that is meant to exude romance, nostalgia... or subtle irony.

Estilo Text Family

2008-03-10T15:50:00.000-04:00

With Estilo and Estilo Script, Portuguese designer Dino dos Santos created one of the most professional and widely appreciated Art Deco-inspired display families available. Despite the geometric simplicity of its characters, The Estilo display fonts look elegant and classy, with a wide range of alternates, ligatures and swashes.

The latest addition to the Estilo family is Estilo Text, a three-weight family with small caps and italics. True to its pedigree, Estilo Text is a face with plain and simple forms, with rounded stems that soften the sternness of its consistent geometry. As the curves in letters like e, m, n, G and U are based on the circle and semicircle, the font is relatively wide; at the same time, its low x-height makes it look about 30% smaller than, say, Helvetica at the same point size. In other words, Estilo Text’s unusual proportions work both ways and may need some experimenting to get used to. Good things come to those with patience, though: a legible piece of text that looks absolutely unique.

Smart Frocks

2008-03-10T15:36:00.000-04:00

The prolific Nick Curtis has mastered the art of time travel like few other designers of his generation. On one of his trips to 1930s London he noticed a sign in a storefront announcing “smart frocks” (frock, for the non-English speakers among us, usually means ladies’ dress, but can also designate various other garments). Seeing the sign in the window was one of those “Eureka!” moments that must happen to Nick almost on a daily basis: another great idea for another cheeky display face. Describing Smart Frocks as “singularly stylish, hip and haughty and decidedly Deco,” the designer is confident that this font is the new way to outsmart the competition. Also included in Nick’s irresistibly priced Feb 2008 6-Pack.

It's in the NEWS! Dreamstime announces the launch of its new Editorial License. This exciting new image option frees photographers to cover world, national or local events of an important newsworthy nature without being concerned about getting model releases.

Although in its early beginnings, the section is rapidly growing and adding new hot images on a daily basis:http://www.dreamstime.com/editorial-images_pg1
