Glasgow ’99 Typeface

A col­league wanted a copy of the logo for Glas­gow ’99 that we designed at MetaDe­sign Lon­don back in 1997. When I looked for it, I found the movie that we made for the pre­sen­ta­tion at the time. Made in Direc­tor, not Flash, it is already a his­tor­i­cal doc­u­ment.

Would any­body kindly tell me if the won­der­ful Sir Erik ( http://bit.ly/aFzYui  —  LOL ) has any free fonts in any weight. I’m mak­ing a set of posters about dif­fer­ent typog­ra­phers with their fonts in it for col­lege.
Although i think it might be only lesser known Typog­ra­phers that release free fonts an a spe­cific weight –to gain expo­sure maybe?

No free fonts, although we have given away the odd weight now and again. If i gave away my work for free, how would i pay my rent? Free fonts are designed by kids who have a day job and too much time.

Absolutely love the quirks that were incor­po­rated into the type­face. The most amaz­ing thing about this is that the ani­ma­tion, made in Direc­tor is time­less. You could just show it to some peo­ple now and say it was just done a day ago in a rush. That would be quite believable.
