Inker linker is a web listing of various printing establishments. It claims to help in finding “printers based on what they do best or what’s most important to you”. Designed by Jessica Hische, the website uses our Skolar for text, combined with Cooper Black by Oswald Bruce Cooper for the logo and various captions.

The fully responsive new Type Directors Club website, designed by tdc board members Jessica Hische and Nick Sherman, uses ITC Franklin Bold and Condensed Bold for headlines and menu, and Poynter Serif RE (roman, italic and bold) for body copy. Benton Sans RE makes an appearance at small sizes, for instance in the “Read more” links, accompanied by Zapf Dingbats (of which Sherman tried to sneak in as many as possible). ✌

Feel you’re missing out on awards? Make your own! Jessica Hische provides the necessary tool for it, complete with rainbow gradients, unicorn cats, and Jim Parkinson’s Cabazon, which makes for a great certificate blackletter. The generator can also be used to give kudos to other undersung heroes, like the behind-the-scenes guy who makes Fonts In Use possible.

Designer and illustrator Jessica Hische uses Bulmer, Perpetua, and Perpetua Titling as webfonts served by Webtype on her Daily Drop Cap website. 

The true stars of the website are the illustrative initials, but the webfonts get to shine on the text-heavy About and Use & Licensing pages. Throughout the site, she takes advantage of Bulmer’s lovely italics, and uses Perpetua and Perpetua Titling together just as they were intended. The latter is also used for the drop caps.
