Indices : Typefaces : Bookman

The history of Bookman, or Bookman Old Style, begins with the introduction of a typeface named Old Style Antique by the Scottish foundry Miller & Richard, designed by A.C. Phemister as a boldface pairing for that foundry's Oldstyle about 1858. The design became popular and was soon replicated by other foundries, with MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan copying the design as early as 1869. When several smaller foundries combined to form American Type Founders in 1892, their libraries of typefaces had to be consolidated. ATF chose to issue the Bruce Foundry version of Oldstyle Antique, which they had called Bartlett Oldstyle. ATF added some special swash characters and logotypes and rechristed the new design as "Bookman Oldstyle."

Indices : Foundries : Volcano Type

Volcano Type is a independent font foundry based in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The first course: a fast food youthfulness that was served for the first time in 1996. An earthy dish, created by chance, with thirteen organic fonts. Quickly whisked up and devoured. It rarely took more than a few days from sketch to use/digestion by the project. Uncouth forms, erupted from the bowels of the earth. Shattered letters, branded, stressed, humiliated. In order to produce arrogant fonts, far too expressive to last on a page of copy text. Quite indisputably from nature. Still roughly hewn. Raw. Imperfect.

Indices : Type and Lettering Styles : Garalde

Late Old Style type style of the baroque period. Like the Venetian types, this style is based on calligraphic principles, including modulated stroke, oblique axis, adnate serifs and modeled terminals, and moderate aperture. The Garalde italics are closely associated with their corresponding roman fonts and are designed to be used together with them in a subordinate role.

See also Garalde Typefaces.

Indices : Type and Lettering Styles : Venetian

Early Old Style of the Renaissance period, also called Humanist. Letterforms are based on calligraphic principles, including modulated stroke, humanist axis, lachrymal terminals, large aperture. The single most distinctive letter to distinguish Venetians from their cousins is the slanted crossbar in the miniscule 'e'. The Venetian italics were designed separately from roman fonts and were used independently.

The archetypal Venetian font is that of Nicholas Jenson, as used in the 1470 Evangelica Praeparatione by Eusebius. In fact, it is Jenson's city, Venice, that gives this family its name. The Eusebius was an absolute masterwork of printing, and is widely considered to be the first appearance of our entirely modern Roman letterforms.

Indices : Typefaces : FF Call

Released by FontFont, 2000

For their work in cell phone advertising, the three designers (Maik Ignaszak, Stefan Kisters, and Astrid Scheuerhorst ) were constantly in need of display type for phones from Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, etc. As PostScript versions of these fonts weren't commercially available, either from the companies themselves or from various type libraries, they decided to make their own. The result is FF Call, a package of over 70 fonts from a dozen brands of cellular phones. Each design comes in three versions: Regular, Italic and Negative, plus Expert Sets.
