I’d been thinking for a while about making a serif font with ball terminals: big fun round ends to the letters anywhere I can squeeze them in. So I made Breakfast Pastry! I started with a hand-drawn set of basic letters, then went hog-wild making alternates and ligatures galore with fun swirls, curls, and even more balls!

I’ve cleaned the letters up significantly to make them smooth and easy for any cutting or printing you may want to do, but I’ve also left in some of the hand-drawn character so that the letters are warmer and not too formal.

Then I took the first font, and made a second solid version without the cutouts. After that I thought: I tend to make plumper fonts ... why not make an even thinner version? So I did! All three versions have the same character set (over 700 glyphs total), which means they all have the same extras and alternates.

All three fonts have over 300 extended Latin characters for language support, as well as over 200 bonus items: alternate letters, letters with swashes, two-letter ligatures, small caps, catchwords, and even some bonus ornaments and elements to make the fonts even more flexible. (After all, if one swash on a letter is good, two or three might be great!)

Hops And Barley - a Vintage Font Collection.

Hops And Barley includes following:
• 6 fonts - a textured and clean version of each
• Catchwords, textured and clean version
• Ornaments, textured and clean version

Hops And Barleys’ core is four font styles. Fonts are designed in the same proportions and they have the same soft edges so that they work great together. Here’s a short introduction to the fonts

• Hops And Barley 1 -A Connected Script with Contextual, Swash, Stylistic and Titling Alternates
• Hops And Barley 1b -A Bold version of Script
• Hops And Barley 2 -A Serif vernacular Swash, Stylistic and Titling Alternates
• Hops And Barley 3 -A sturdy Sans Serif with a wide character.
• Hops And Barley 3b -A Bold version of Sans Serif
• Hops And Barley 4 -A Condensed Sans Serif
• Hops And Barley 5 -A set of 61 Catchwords
• Hops And Barley 6 -A set of 71 Pictograms

Hops and Barley fonts have rugged outline and eroded texture inside the letters. Hops And Barley C stands for Clean - they are an identical set of the styles but they come with straight and clean outlines and softened edges.

Hops and Barley fonts work great together or on their own. They’re a fantastic choice for any display use and when paired they can cover the whole display part in any project from website to packaging and from poster to logo.

The Hanscum font family is a playful geometry and nature-inspired display family sporting plenty of distressed and letterpress style textures.

Rough monospace type with cowboy boots: Here is Justice! Initially designed in 2004, Justice has been totally rethought in 2017 for the visual identity of Ceinturama. For this new version the fixed-width principle has been used to turn this typeface into a kind of construction game. A series of decorative accessories (systems of borders, arrows and ornaments) have been developed in order to make typesetting more playful.
Designed from the outset to be as comfortable on screen, on paper as on wall, Justice has aesthetic qualities suitable for handmade signage. It’s your turn to play!

How many times have you seen lettering on a book cover, poster, or card and wanted to make something similar? Decorata’s eight intertwining weights finally make that possible in an intelligent way. The first major collaboration of its kind, Decorata pairs the talents of supreme lettering artist Martina Flor and masterful type designer Neil Summerour. Lettering was traditionally understood as using words in an artistic way, while type design created written language for easy reading, the one overlapping the other in several ways. For this unique project, Martina created several versions of the alphabet and its decorative layers in her eye-catching style. Neil then took those designs and created an enormous eight-style font family that respects the designer’s need for control and capitalizes on the artist’s expressiveness.

Each style can work separately but, on top of the foundational styles, try placing the Lace, then Filigree in contrasting colors. Use any OpenType-capable program to turn headlines from blasé to wowza, make posters with some pow, and design your own cards with that just-right level of detail. Whatever idea you can imagine with the Decorata family, it promises to be a playful and precise wordsmith where the words themselves are the art.

Decorata’s glyphs are bifurcated, have medium contrast to showcase their intricate interactions, and include Shadow, Regular, Outline, Filigree, Lace, Fancy, Intricate, and Dingbat styles — eight in all. The Regular style sets the word or phrase to begin the design, Shadow ensures it lifts off the background, and Outline attempts to restrain its ornate flair. Think of those as the foundation and use the rest of the styles for flamboyance. The Intricate and Filigree styles vary only in the thickness of the glyphs, with Filigree being thinner. Lace removes the external curls around each letter but keeps the internal negative space from those decorative lines. The Fancy style is a solid lettershape that includes its attendant elements, and the Dingbats are exactly as expected: borders, manicules, patterns, frames, and many stylized items to bring designs to life.

The origin story of HANLEY FONT COLLECTION all starts with the Script. We were designing logos and kept feeling like we needed a different kind of script, vintage feeling but not dated, and not too baseball-y or too formal. We couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for, so we decided to create it ourselves. After that we realized what we really wanted was good wood block looking lettering especially with small caps. And the collection just grew from there - a tall slim style, a monoline version of the script and of course a good sans. We topped off the group with a large selection of catchwords and extras with plenty of swirls, swashes and frames. Hanley has just enough irregularity to the edges to impart a human feel, but it’s still clean. Super versatile, all the styles work well together and can look authentically vintage or modern and hand-crafted.
