New Fountain Type and Website
18 December 2008
Oh happy day! Peter Bruhn and crew have just announced Fountain’s new website and 4 new typefaces as part of their fifteen year celebration. In addition, it looks like most of their library is now available in OpenType format—and through January 31, 2009 they’re offering special upgrade pricing to license owners of their previous Type 1 and TrueType fonts. I know that I’ll be digging up my order numbers for the Mountaineer kit (the first types I purchased from Fountain), Baskerville 1757, and Malmö Sans.
Of special interest is the new Tycho, a Garamondish sixteenth century book type with a really nice lower case a. There’s a very nice display cut as well.
