This one is strange - you download text boxes, not fonts... I've filled them with Lorem Ipsum... the point is that you can fill them with your own type - perhaps for a layout or something? Some of these letter-forms don't work or would be completely unreadable as paragraphs - perhaps someday I'll revisit this one and dis-un-readable-ize them. Until that day, please don't hate me.
Download Paratype. Note: It is an AI and not an EPS because I'm not sure the threading &c. will function. Sorry about that - be sure to let me know if you have problems.

About this site:
Type.fwis.com is for me to test myself and see if I can design a new typeface every day for 31 days. You will be able to critique me and download an EPS of the file. This will likely end in tears and embarrassment for myself.
I will not convert any of these to real fonts as I have neither the time nor the knowledge.
For the true-blue typography geeks who are ATypI members and are deeply offended by my blunders, I am quite sorry and you should feel free to hurl insults and old issues of Emigre.
Please let me know if you want to use any of these in a project, I would be honored. It is very likely I will give permission in exchange for a copy of the final piece. See the About section for more details, or contact me.

What a great self-challenge. I'm sure you will have no problem designing a face a day. The trouble is making them typeface that are usable. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next 31 days and see if there is anything that strikes me as a treat to use.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing what comes out of your head.

This one is my favorite so far. Such a simple idea, but executed nicely. Wish I had something to use it on.

now i find myself wanting to fill the boxes with a font with characters that have the same shapes as the boxes :)

this is a great idea, it would work wonderfully on a poster.

Ah I have been looking for this for such a long time - thanks for the realization!

I am having trouble with the download link. A blank page pops up when I click the link. Then Nothing.
Otherwise, Great Work!

Would be perfect for a AIGA poster or something similar, so insider.
