Filed under:Foundry Update, Font Mesa Posted by Font Mesa on @ 5:07 pm

Silverland

For a limited time the Silverland font family is 50% off

Silverland is a revival of an old type font from the Bruce Type Foundry of New York, the original font included uppercase only plus 22 end caps. This 21st. century version has been expanded to include many more decorative end caps plus new lowercase, small caps, italic, italic small caps, swash, swash small caps and gothic version. Approximately six months of painstaking work has gone into making this font family over the last twenty two months.

The OpenType versions of Silverland include between 230 and 370 kerning pairs each setup as auto ligature replacements, you will need an application such Adobe CS products in order to take advantage of this OpenType feature.

More to come with this font, in the future there will be more versions of this font added to the set including diagonal connectors and a script version currently in the works.

Some of you have asked me what in God’s name inspired you to create such a font, my response is lots of stress in my life, the stress of being a caregiver for a father dying of cancer and a ninety four year grandfather that needs help every day, creativity is a good way to deal with the stress and this new font was exactly what I needed to help me get through it.

P22 Sneaky Pro is the latest release from the International House of Fonts. Designed by Michael Clark, the font is a connecting-script and sibling of the popular “Pooper Black” font which shares a similar flow and casual elegance. The shared details of the two fonts and the relative size enable the fonts to be mix and matched together. Sneaky Pro features over 500 glyphs with alternates and a Central European character set. The font is also available in regular TrueType, PostScript and basic OpenType formats.

Outras Fontes: Gaia Dingbats

Filed under:Foundry Update, Outras Fontes Posted by Ricardo on April 25, 2008 @ 5:07 pm


Gaia is the first dingbat series from Outras Fontes. Each glyph in this font was designed to be used as single forms or as graphic pattens. When repeated several times, they create some interesting optical effects. Their organic shapes gives a nice feeling of nature. I hope this can be useful for your artworks.

At Typodermic, we used font science, lab coats and turbo lasers to generate the perfect model of a font from the year 300000. It’s stroppy, clever & super macho.
