What does it mean for a foundry to join The Type Founders? For @marksimonson it meant an entire team ready to help him take his legendary Proxima Nova into languages that he couldn’t on his own. We’re proud to work with Mark, and all of our foundries, and take their visions to all the places they’ve always dreamed about.

For five decades, @marksimonson has helped shape the way the world reads—with typefaces that feel both timeless and incredibly personal. From the cinematic Coquette to the ubiquitous Proxima Nova, Mark’s work has quietly embedded itself into brands, publications, screens, and stories everywhere. Congratulations on fifty years, Mark. We’re happy you’re a part of The Type Founders family.

New! Heckle is a brush script typeface for display use. It started as a tiny sketch for a t-shirt design in 2005, based on my memories of script lettering from the ’40s and ’50s.

New! Hardcover is an elegant serif typeface intended for display use. It was one of my earliest typeface ideas, dating back to a sketch I did in 1978, inspired by the slick lettering I’d seen on mass-market book covers.

A few weeks ago, I did a talk for the Type Tuesday group in Minneapolis about the backstory behind Douglas F. Jones' Skin & Bones typeface and my revival of it. If you'd like to see it, I put it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDAG7txaUxo

The growth and popularity of Proxima Nova in the last twenty years is beyond my wildest, most optimistic expectations when I released it in 2005. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to everyone who has helped along the way, and especially to all the designers who decided that it was the best font for the job. https://www.marksimonson.com/notebook/view/proxima-nova-turns-20/

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
