Rough and ready, bold and urgent.

Or playful and fun in bright colours.

The original letters were cut from actual potatoes, then scanned in and converted to vector outlines. Lighter and more heavily inked versions were used for the three variants.

Using Opentype character-substitution technology, Salvation rotates through three versions of each letter to create a naturally uneven printed effect.

Unlike hot metal type, the potatoes were cut the right way around. This produced reversed prints, which were then flipped back in Photoshop.

Originally produced for Hughes' Get Lettering activity book, the font was then extended to cover numbers, punctuation and full European language support.

This useful Calligraphic set has an old-world Middle Eastern feel, but with enough simplicity to use in modern designs. LHF Ascribe has the appearance found on ancient sacred writings, which makes it perfect for scroll text. Well balanced letters make for readable blocks of copy or headings. Set includes Regular & Distressed versions, and bonus alternates.

Nearly 2 years in the making, LHF Black Rose Script is the perfect blend of hand-lettering and modern technology. This beautiful script is loaded with features, such as automatic ligatures, discretionary ligatures, bonus ending characters, swashes, and several alternates (302 glyphs to be exact).

You receive 3 versatile fonts to match different moods: Regular, Block Shadow (placed under Regular), and an expertly-crafted Inked version which has been distressed to look like freshly inked lettering.

One look at your designs and your clients will fall in love with Black Rose Script. And with so many carefully designed alternates to use, they'll probably think you hand-lettered it yourself!

Rough and ready artisanal lettering for your fair trade coffee shop, whiskey microbrewery or Victorian bill-poster — or, alternatively, distressed type for the cover of a hard-hitting novel set in a war zone.
Fairtrade uses opentype technology to cycle through three versions of each character, giving an authentically uneven time-worn appearance.

Kontiki digitally simulates a handmade woodprint and offers four different qualities of print for each of the 560 characters. To create the Kontiki fonts, 193 glyphs were manually cut into five wooden plates and carefully printed by hand. From countless test prints, the most charming four were selected and digitized. Kontiki offers a designer the possibility to create a printed image that is very close to a traditional woodprint, but is less expensive to produce an easier to correct. As the warmth of manually printed matter has become a sign of quality and good taste, Kontiki is quite useful for packaging, editorial and corporate design.
