Speed Bump

Speed BumpI, uh, don’t know quite what to say. I’d toiled so long over a particularly painstaking typeface project that I guess I needed a good, wild ride to shake out the head cramps, or something. Whatever grabbed me, it forced me to sit down and create another face as fast as I could, directly in my main font-development application. Took less than two hours to finish the regular character set. No way to explain it, but the exercise actually paid off—I think. And now that there was Speed Bump, there simply had to be a companion dingbat set. OpenType features include additional ligatures, 200-plus pictures/ornaments, and full Latin support. US$19.

RANDOM SIGHTING:
Emily Austin

KIND WORDS:

“I happened across your website completely by accident, and I was astounded by the fonts I found there. They are amazing.”
—M.S., Ontario, Canada

“I'm a collector of 19th century antiques and photographs, and like to make labels and scrapbooks using fonts that fit the period of my items. I've even tried to learn the penmanship myself using dip pens... your fonts will make it so much easier!”
—P.M., Palatine IL

“There's a fair number of what I call 'scrawl' faces out there. [Treefrog] is one of the very few I really like.”
—P.M., Palatine IL

“I have never encountered such fine and detailed work in a handwritten font before. I heartily applaud your attention to detail and historical accuracy.”
—J.W., Seattle WA

“Well done on preserving the old ways of writing—they wrote and spoke so much nicer than we do now.”
—A.K., Adelaide, S. Australia

“[American Scribe] is the 3rd font I have ordered from this foundry! Love them. Thanks for the good and authentic work!”
—V.B., BC, Canada

“The Lamar Pen font is divine. We are using it on a novel set in the eighteenth century, and the author is ecstatic.”
—J.H., London, England
