Deathspell

Initially this typeface started off as a revival of a letter style called "Hohenzollern" (designed by Carl Albert Fahrenwaldt (1864-1941) which I discovered in my copy of the 1909 edition of the Schriften Atlas. However, this quickly became a greater endeavor to become a more complete and useful typeface for modern times beyond the 26 upper and lowercase characters and numerals that were presented in the single specimen I had available.

The transitional aesthetic this letter style established between the blackletter of the past and the art-nouveau of the then-present resulted in a truly unique look that still feels fresh over 100 years later. Now for the first time ever, this century-old alphabet has been expanded to include language support for over 75 languages, including custom designed diacritical marks, currency, punctuation, and symbols to match the rest of the character set in 9 distinct weights.

Heist

Inspired by the original "Blackface Bank-Note Roman" designed and engraved by Edward M. Weeks, Heist is a modern re-interpretation of the primary letter style that has graced American paper currency and postage stamps for well over a century. In redesigning this classic, some of the triangular serifs have been softened and more generous weight has been given to the lighter strokes to diminish some of the extreme contrast points of the source material. There have been a handful of efforts over the years to recreate this letter style digitally, but never before has it been done to this extent, with over 400 glyphs including complete suites of punctuation and fractions, 6 currency symbols, catchwords, diacritical marks for all European Latin languages, and more.

This heavyweight headliner is perfect for making major statements or packaging some extra punch on your packaging or print work. Familiar yet fresh, classic but contemporary, Heist can be used in any scenario that calls for a bit of extra weight or style.

Ironbound

Ironbound Condensed is my homage to the brilliant mid-century neon signage of the doo-wop motel town of Wildwood, New Jersey that I visited every summer in my youth. It's also inspired by the cast metal letters of classic storefronts in New York City - the delicatessens, diners, theaters, and luncheonettes of days past that have become fewer and rarer with each passing year.

This bold beauty comes in 9 weights, with approximately 700 glyphs per weight to take care of almost any need you can think of. Ironbound Condensed comes with a set of subtle small capitals, a full punctuation set, superiors and inferiors, basic fractions, and a collection of useful symbols, currencies, and special characters.
