Writers take Sides
Writers take sides on the question: Are you for, or are you against Franco and fascism? Are you for, or are you against the legal government and the people of Republican Spain?

Ralf Herrmann currently is running a campaign to fund the creation of a faithful digitization of all three weights of Signal, plus a variable font, and possibly multi-color versions.
The project already reached its funding goal today, three days before the campaign ends. You can still pledge in order to support the project and secure yourself one of the rewards. The (non-color) fonts themselves will be made available for free eventually, but backers will get early access.
