Random Historical Pen…

American Scribe™ is modeled after the hand of Timothy Matlack (1736–1826), a Philadelphia brewer and master penman. In 1776, when the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration of Independence to be “fairly engrossed on parchment,” the task fell to Matlack, whose masterful script was perfect for the first and most famous of American documents. Try it out here »

Random Book Text…

Sarabande™ is Lars Bergquist’s painstaking reproduction of Jean Jannon’s famous “Garamond” of 1621—also known as Caractères de l’université. This truly lovely serif has Roman and Italic styles and a full range of Latin diacritics, but it lacks unhistorical glyphs such as those for higher math and logic. Sarabande is a favorite member of our discounted Book Texts bundle. Try it out here »

Random Old Map Font…

The eponymous Bonnycastle™ replicates the bold, italic hand-lettering on the charts and maps of Sir Richard Henry Bonnycastle (1791–1847), an English officer and military engineer who served in the War of 1812 and settled in Canada. Comes with small caps, bunches of ligatures, stylistic alternates, and full Latin support. A member of both our Old Map Fonts Collection and Display Faces Collection. Try it out here »

Random Display Face…

Sekhmet™, named for the lion-headed war goddess of ancient Egypt, does indeed have a sort of feline, forward-directed energy. Noteworthy are the slight slope of its book-weight Roman and its calligraphic Italic. A multi-use display face, Sekhmet nevertheless also works well in (especially larger) text blocks. A member of our discounted Display Faces bundle. Try it out here »

Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Professor™ replicates the cursive script of an actual college professor (the designer’s late-father), who had the kind of plain modern hand schoolkids used to see on a blackboard. Replete with contextual ligatures, this font was designed to fool casual readers into thinking they’re scanning real handwriting. Has nearly 600 glyphs and full Latin support. A member of our Modern Handwritten Fonts Collection. Try it out here »

Random Antique Text Font…

A personal favorite among the text fonts I’ve designed, Bonsai™ is, well, top-heavy. But it’s this very top-heaviness—as if printed with worn or off-center lead type— that gives it a peculiar allure. It’s soft, warm, friendly, legible, accessible. Its roman and true italic styles have plenty of OpenType features, true small capitals, and Latin Plus support. (Note its use in the heads on this website!) Try it out here »

Random Offbeat Font…

Speed Bump™ does have upper- and lowercase Latin alphabets, but its chief appeal might be its vast array of wacky pictures (accessible via OpenType features or a character map utility). Need an apple, book, car, duck, eagle, or fish? They’re all there—plus a couple hundred more. Speed Bump has more than 500 glyphs and full Latin support.
