I've added some script caps, along with some swashiness to the wedding types. We're still ironing out some lumps in the caps.

Betatype fonts are now available on MyFonts! Make sure to check out MyFonts' fantastic OpenType previews and dynamic specimens.

After putting the kids to bed at a well known southern California tourist destination, I drew up an alphabet inspired by a storefront in the park.

I spent the better part of the morning drawing in fontforge using spiro curves. Despite a lot of crashing and some fumbling as happens with new tools, it was a really positive experience. The one thing that I haven't yet been able to get used to is when you move a spiro point, it tends to move the curves all around the glyph. It can be a little unsettling to fix one side of a bowl, only to have it slosh around when you move the other side.

Here is the result of my effort; It's a quick lowercase sans that feels a little British, maybe?

The caps are designed to work in conjunction with a similarly thin script face. Both are very much in a draft state.

Both Grant Avenue and Apertura are live! Grant Avenue is now a part of Veer's Umbrella collection, while Apertura is the newest member of the Cabinet collection.

An exercise for Typophile Battle 28: design the word 'defiant' where the stem width is 1/2 of the x-height.

I pulled this one out of the closet the other day, dusted it off, and put it back on the workbench. I started this type right after I finished Dear Sarah at the beginning of the OpenType revolution. I'm not sure why it got put on the back burner. The concept: A cursive / Italic / Roman super family, where the cursive gets top billing. This is the first time I'm showing it publicly.
