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.

KIND WORDS:

“I took one look at American Scribe and knew it was the Declaration of Independence before reading the ad copy. You captured it perfectly.”
—B.P., Marietta OH

“I think [Texas Hero] is amazing. It is incredibly beautiful and in my opinion looks very authentic.”
—E.H., Brookline MA

“I'm always on the lookout for handwriting fonts that look more like handwriting than fonts. I've always relied on Texas Hero, Schooner Script, and Emily Austin and was very happy to see Lamar Pen and American Scribe.”
—A.L., Los Angeles CA

“This is a fantastic resource and the fonts are beautiful!”
—C.B., Bethesda MD

Bonsai is very beautiful; the font's antiquity seems to conjure a sweet staleness of old newsprint, somehow.”
—A.T., Ontario, Canada

“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

“Keep up the fonts! They are some of the best I have seen in 10-plus years of design.”
—M.O., Little Rock AR
