Bitstream Fleischman

9 May 2008

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see this on myfonts.com. There are a few options for Fleischman-inspired type, but your only choice for an authentic version was DTL Fleischman which is out of reach for most due to is price.

Bitstream’s version finally offers a more affordable cut in OpenType format with all the bells and whistles—small caps, ligatures, historical glyphs, and ornaments. I think it’s a little conservative compared to the original, but that will probably make it more useful as a text face.
