What’s New

Filmotype Ginger is the latest Filmotype release. It has been digitally remastered in the OpenType format, bringing a classic 1950s condensed sans into the 21st century.

Filmotype Zanzibar is another recent Filmotype release. Digitally remastered in the OpenType format, it’s a quirky, elegant semi-script like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Pangrammer Helper 2.0 is a new version of the handy pangram* utility I created in 2005. The new version adds the ability to keep track of how many times each letter is used.

(*A pangram is a sentence or phrase containing every letter of the alphabet.)

Metallophile Sp8 brings the warmth of hot metal machine-set type to a modern digital font. First released in 2003, it has just been updated to the OpenType format, has two new styles, Medium and Medium Italic, and many new features.
