 Once upon a time, a co-worker of mine, Philip D. Cyr, would use a particularly fanciful inkpen-style script in display-lettering situations. I liked it a lot. “Phil,” I says, “why not do the whole alphabet, maybe a few little pictures, and I’ll make a font.” Well, one day he presented me with a stack of posterboard; he’d done some letters, all right—hundreds of them. Managed to boil ’em down into a typeface called Treefrog, a name that seems to match its organic jumble, its tall x-height, its left- and right-leaning stems, its thick and thin strokes. Just remember: you have Phil Cyr to thank for Treefrog. (Must be something in the water up in Millinocket, Maine.) Has a full character set and numerous ornamental doodles, including fish, chairs, rake and shovel, star, sun, and moon. OpenType features include several alternate characters and full Latin support. US$39.

“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
“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
“[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
