[CREATE] [LGF] A name !

[Dave Crossland]

Hi,

Font design and typesetting are specialisms within Typography, which is one
of the 4 specialisms within Graphic Design (the others being illustration,
photography, and motion)

So 'graphics' does not exclude typographic design, IMO :-)

Regards, Dave

Perhaps it is not the best fit, but it is better than "graphics," (due to
including typesetting/typography) while Libre Artists Foundation sounds to
me more like a foundation to support the artists themselves rather than also
supporting the tools (not saying that the foundation is not meant to support
the community, just that the name should not point to one side over the
other imo).
