Haley Fiege aka Kingdom of Awesome is making a script typeface for us! And she’s naming it League Script! Oh, we blush. Thanks Haley, you’re umm… awesome!
Here’s a screenshot of the skeletons for the font.
Oh wow, I had no idea Meredith is on Tumblr. She’s the creator of Chunk! Did you know that?
And this was the poster that I saw during her senior show last year at Otis, the reason why we contacted her to be a contributor to The League.
Chunk: This is the super-bold slab serif font I made. Right now it’s available to download on the League of Moveable Type, an awesome website started by fellow Otis alumns.
Also, check it out featured on Smashing Magazine’s beautiful high-quality free fonts for your designs!Still finishing up the font, stay on the lookout!

It seems a few League fonts are featured on Apple’s HTML5 Showcase, though only in image.
In order of appearance:
Kudos to Apple for having such good taste! Unfortunately, they don’t let all Webkit browsers access the page, so if you visit, make sure to use Safari.
Chunk Five font, now with accents via Maurice Svay.
Because I love open source and I love this font, I spent the week-end adding the missing glyphs to Chunk. My version of the font has now twice more glyphs than the original (from 85 to 170)…
If you want to give it a try, just download Chunk Five with accents.
This is actually the first time we get to use League Gothic on our own site layout.
Fantastic article over at Typographica on designing geometric sans-serif fonts, and how to make them more readable. Excellent work, Mr. Moore.
A new site I designed for the Sunlight Foundation got some League Gothic love. Love that font! :) You can see the site at http://www.transparencycaucus.org
(We love the Sunlight Foundation. Keep up the good work, guys.)
Sniglet featured on Signal vs. Noise! Totally not the point of the article, but awesome none-the-less.
