Credit Card
Credit Card is an ALL CAPITALS font for simulating bank cards (and to suggest a context of banking, finance, membership or security). The number keys produce the bigger, squarer digits of the 16 figure card number. There is no lowercase in this font. Instead, the small numerals used for validity dates fill the lowercase letter keys, 1 > 9 being at a > i.
Roundel
Roundel is a paradoxical, modern heraldic typeface. It is a display face of simple, angular and curved shapes, with each main glyph contained within a circle.
Excite
Excite is a neo-grotesque typeface family named after an x-height that’s as tall as you can get without compromising the distinction between upper and lower case, helping to make it extremely readable both in print and on screen. It is modern and spacious, has short ascenders and descenders, and an airiness augmented by using both horizontal and vertical endings of open characters like C, S and 3. Unusually for a neo-grotesque, Excite has a clean, contemporary, single storey lowercase A.
Sans Culottes
A misprinted sans serif loosely based on Phillip Cavette’s 1999 font 4990810, but with re-drawn outlines, more distress marks, a neater vertical aspect and no baseline irregularity. Unlike its inspiration, Sans Culottes is a complete font which includes a lower case, accented characters and as many dingbats as you can shake a stick at.
Ray Johnson
The Ray Johnson font was inspired by the Father of Mail Art (or the Grandfather, depending on who you read). It is based on the block lettering style used by Ray to add the names of his correspondents to their bunny head portraits (the film ‘How to Draw a Bunny’ is a superb introduction). The font includes blank bunny heads and other Ray Johnson graphics as scalable vector images, and separate bitmap images are also provided as jpegs and gifs.
Victor Moscoso
The Victor Moscoso font is based on the 1960s psychedelic poster lettering of the artist Victor Moscoso. The letterforms are derived from some of his most celebrated Neon Rose posters of the late sixties, in particular the archetypical Moby Grape ‘Neptune’s Notion’ of 1967.
