I got a note from The Night Angel this week. I will let his words do the talking.
February 9th, 2009 will mark the ten year anniversary of the death of AWE Lettering. To celebrate, I would like to release a new pack, AWE-22. Our mission back in those days was to promote the creation of fonts. Looking back at our releases, I realize we somehow missed the point. Our packs were filled with BBS menus and templates of any kind. I wanted to elevate fonts to the rank of art. Now, all I can see are collections of graphic designs. Now, don't get me wrong: we did produce quality fonts, but we should have produced quality art. I believe the distinction between the two resides mainly in us, as fontists, being subordinated to the requests for BBS templates, instead of creating 100 liners.
So I am inviting all of you to submit fonts, large, original, artistic lettering, for this new release. I will apply the drastic quality control an anniversary release requires, but will be available to anyone who needs help or guidance. In a month or so, I will publish a list of artists participating in that anniversary project.
Artists interested in contributing should contact TNA.
UPDATE: TNA has created a Google Group for AWE.
