'T' for Typography

Archer

“Squeee!!”

That is the approximate sound I made when I found out that Archer is now available.

Archer Font

The font was created for Martha Stewart Living, but their exclusive license has now expired. It’s a versatile and beautiful font. Pricey, but worth it.

I’ve already purchased my copy.

    Ugh! Such a beautiful font (I’m a font maniac too), but the price made me feel close to desesperation… I’d rather buy a new flat screen! ;)

    Oh, I love that font too! Probably won’t buy it unless I can talk a client into purchasing it. :-)

    I must, must, must have this font… I’ve loved it from the first time I saw it. :) I knew it was going to be released but am so glad for the reminder!

    It’s a very gentle font and that’s always nice. It’s really quite beautiful and clean, but the price tag? A little high for me.

    I finally got around to posting my gush about this ultra-sexy font family. This is easily one of the most versatile slab serifs you could buy. On the price of admission, I do like that you can get a base set of 10 (of the 40! total) for $199. Not too shabby.

    I don’t care that I have to eat a little less this week to offset the cash I threw down for Archer. I’m in love.

    BTW Nicole, I found you because of this post. Very nice. We’ll be keeping an eye on you.

    Have you had any problems with the restrictions of the licensing and getting things printed? I haven’t bought a font quite like this before.

    Can we use these on websites and blogs or is it just for graphic designers?

    How would you guys feel if I told you that Wells Fargo is changing its corporate typeface from Myriad and Sabon to Archer?

    Does anyone know of a similar font? I’ve already had my company throwdown for the Gotham, and can’t really make the argument that we need Archer too, but I love the look!

    A really close font to Archer is Museo, and its free here:

    It’s not the same, but pretty close, and the price is right. I’ve been using it for the last few months, while trying to decide whether or not to shell out for Archer, and I finally just purchased it yesterday. I’m over the moon, and will have to work very hard to not use it on everything from now on!

    This is, truly, on of the best new fonts in the last 5 years.

    I have found a font called Beton which seems quite similar to Archer but is a much more affordable price.
