New Releases 2 – Merrivale
Merrivale is now released on Myfonts. Merrivale is an ideal example of the benefits of keeping ones eyes open- it was inspired by the gilt-finished raised lettering on a late Victorian shopsign in Melbourne, Australia. The family of seven faces include upper and lower case forms, small capitals, all capital forms, and flamboyant display forms. Extensive Opentype features are incorporated. All faces are offered in incised forms inspired by the original lettering as well as in solid black filled forms. Thsee typefaces are wonderful for signage where either a period air or a dignified but legible feel are required. They also lend themselves to other display uses such as posters, book covers and so forth and are ideal for the title lines of certificates.
Beckinslade Launches…
Beckinslade is now available on both Fontspring and Myfonts. Here are a couple more sample images of our Christmas Blackletter release (though it’s suitable for any time of year) for 2011…
Beckinslade About to Release…
We’ve just sent Beckinslade off to our resellers, so it should appear shortly. Meanwhile here’s a ew preview pieces. Beckinslade is a lovely elaborate blackletter face, released just in time for Christmas, but useable at any time of the year. It is in the best traditions of Victorian Gothic revival, drawing inspiration from a range of sources and marrying them into one homogenous whole. The emphasis is on aesthetics rather than historical accuracy. Great fun though for anywhere ‘ye olde’ look is desired.
