This typeface is an attempt to offer as a font the well known marvelous Hans Holbein “Death Alphabet”, first published in 1523. We have tried to preserve as much as possible the spirit and appearance of the original Initials set — incredibly fine and enriched with detailed figures — trying at the same time to create a font not too complex to be usable. Neverteless, the font files are large, and when used, the decorated initials may appear on screen more slowly than ordinary characters. (Minimum size recommended : 96 pts)
We are offering here two complete standard sets (no accented characters) : Initials and capitals. We have reconstructed the missing letters : J and U, Eth, Lslash, Thorn and Oslash

In the wake of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution there was a desire for a clear classical blackletter font without frills. That is why in 1793 the famous printer and editor Johann Friedrich Unger and his partner Johann Christian Gubitz accomplished their own fraktur.
Now you will be able to use both regular and bold styles of this highly readable blackletter font. These fonts contain many useful ligatures, and by typing ‘N’, ‘r’ and period you get an oldstyle numbersign.

This font, was created -- inspired from the original manuscript of the French revolutionary song “La Marseillaise”, becoming later the French national anthem, composed in one night (1792 April 25th) by the 32 year old French captain, Rouget de Lisle.
It is a “Pro” font containing Western (including Celtic) and Northern European, Icelandic, Baltic, Eastern, Central European and Turkish diacritics. The numerous alternates and ligatures make the font look as close as possible to the real historic hand. Using an OTF software, the features allow variations of each character without anything to do but to select contextual alternates and standard ligatures and/or stylistic alternates options.

This family was created/inspired from the well-known Baskerville Roman and Italic typefaces created by John Baskerville, the English font designer. We were inspired by the original family sent by Baskerville’s wife after his death.
The full Baskerville collection was bought by the French editor and author Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais who used it to print - in Switzerland - for the first time the complete works of Voltaire (known as the “Kehl edition” from the "Imprimerie de la société littéraire typographique"). We have used this edition, with copies from 1785, to reconstruct these two genuine historical styles

RiFF/RaFF is kind of a Typewriter-Old-Skool typeface specially designed for Arie Lenoir one of the best Dutch printers. It’s quite a simple and straightforward monospace font that comes in two different weights.
What’s in a name: a RiFF is a tune or melody of a guitar tab in a song and RaFF just means rubble. According to me RiFF-RaFF is a great name and so is this new typeface: Just Use It !

Transcribed JNL - 1 font: $25.00

The term “transcribed” takes on many definitions. In sheet music (the source of this type face design) it means to set down onto paper. In the formative days of radio, and until the advent of the tape recorder, radio stations depended on 16 inch wide recordable discs known as transcriptions.
These discs were generally aluminum base with a soft lacquer coating that was cut with a heated stylus. This was the only way a program could be recorded and preserved for later broadcast or copied for syndication

Vintage sheet music for the 1920s song “Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go with Friday on Saturday Night?” yielded the hand lettered Art Nouveau alphabet for Nouveau Display JNL.
Because the Art Nouveau movement was so influential in the graphic designs of the 1960s “Love Generation” counter culture, this typeface blends itself well with projects crossing many decades and varying styles.

The vast resource of hand lettered vintage sheet music titles offers many interesting and unique variations on even the simplest styles of lettering.
A simple thick-and-thin serif design circa the 1920s-1930s evokes a reminiscence of the Art Nouveau period combined with a touch of what was to come during the Art Deco era.
Most charming is the fact this lettering is free of the formal rules and constraints of metal type, where designers are generally forced into conformity with uniform stroke widths, serif placements and character shapes.

Cast and Crew JNL is a condensed monoline font that lends itself well to any text project where more copy needs to fit into a limited space. A perfect example of this is a movie poster’s cast, director, producer and other acknowledgements.

Vintage sheet music was initially a partial inspiration for what started out as a simple retro typeface, but the basic hand-lettered design from the Art Deco era lent itself to some further experimentation.
Geometric shapes were added to the original monoline letters and numerals and the end result was a marvelous display face called Cafe Society JNL.
During the 1930s, “Cafe Society” was popular slang for the financially privileged during the Great Depression who dined at fine cafes while others who were able to eat out did so at diners and cafeterias.

Lemon Yellow Sun is a line from my favorite Pearl Jam song - Jeremy. It also happens to be the title of a Stiltskin song, so I had to name a font after it. LYS is a tall, all caps typeface with lots of bouncy glyphs and lots of diacritics. Upper and lower case have been designed to mingle, so have a ball!.
