The emphasis is on retro and  industrial fonts and typefaces based on mid-twentieth century signage, and they&#8217;re awfully nice.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So nice that I&#8217;d like them all, in fact.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In most cases, you pay whatever you like for an unrestricted license. In a few cases there are tiers: so much for personal use, so much for commercial use. Licenses for web use as a font-face vary from one to another and are indicated by a distinctive graphic. <em>Lost Type<\/em> itself just passes the money on to the individual typographers; it doesn&#8217;t make any money on its own behalf.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I ran across their site while following a Twitter link that mentioned my Pulp-O-Mizer, and I stayed because, well, I couldn&#8217;t help it.
