For All the Cool Geeks in the House

I love P22 Type Foundry. They have the coolest fonts in the world. I was even a member of their font club for two years until they changed the format.

Their latest addition is the Caslon font family and while it's definitely a great font, what really caught my attention is this CD.

Since the font is based on type designs by William Caslong, an eighteenth century type designer, they've taken music by The William Caslon Experience, a downtempo (my favorite music genre, btw) musical duo, and made a CD that contains a "remixed" version of the font that's only available on the CD.

You get the CD free if you buy the entire font family for $99.95 (and considering how many fonts it contains, it's really not a bad deal), but you can also purchase it seperately for only $15.95. I listened to some of the samples on the page and the group sounds good.

$15.95 for a downtempo CD and a remixed font? I'm getting my credit card out right now. What a great combination of cool (downtempo music) and geeky (a font).
