Greetings, Typography folks, and thanks in advance for your help!
I was in a stationery store and spotted this wicked font they called "Mod." It looked like something that might have been used for a 1962 French New Wave movie poster -- it had longish serifs tapered into points. It looked sharp and slightly wacky at the same time. One imagines the New Wave movie advertised with it might be called "Parisian Scooter Angst" or somesuch. THAT font.
I'm on a Mac and I've got MS Word. I'm trying to create some personalized letterhead with this font, along with some cool old international pictographs from the "Handbook of Pictorial Symbols."
Where can I find the "Mod Font"? Seems like all the Mac font sites are "landmines" with tons of pop-ups and BS and you never get anywhere. What's the legit site for font downloads?
Respect,

Re: Cool Mod Font

www.myfonts.com/fonts/agfa/mod-tr/
My Fonts website is a legit, but commercial, website. They mostly sell fonts you have to buy to download. However, with type you get what you pay for. Commercial fonts are usually far superior to the freebie ones (better drawings of letter forms, minimal number of anchor points, better hinting, kerning pairs, etc.).
