The Pacific Sans and the Pacific Serif originated from the Pacific Standard, a space effective type face, especially designed for poster lettering. The implementation of serif strokes in the Pacific Serif and the contrast in vertical and horizontal strokes in the Pacific Sans, gave these fonts a distinct elegance.
Candy Bits was originally designed at Bitstream as a custom project for a large printer manufacturer. Released in 1997, Candy Bits was designed by Jim Lyles. The typographic characters were fashioned after a well known American candy.
The balance of the characters in the font are designed to enhance the 3D illusion by appearing to recede into the page. Soon after its completion, Mr. Lyles joined a local health club.
I proudly present Gingar, a warm and friendly headline face with a Slab Serif touch. A good mixture of the playful and the classic. A proper font.

Use the typeface for fashion, food, wellness, magazines, corporate design projects and many more. You will rock it!
CoreHumanistSans is a typeface reduced to the max: clean and simple but peaceful, unpretentious and pleasant.
There is no contrast in the characters, which means that the strokes are equally thick everywhere, hence ‘Core’.
The terminals of characters like a, c, e and s point in a horizontal rather than a vertical direction, which gives the typeface an open and accessible character, hence ‘Humanist’.

The typeface doesn’t convey any particular ‘atmosphere’ because it isn’t made to fit into any existing typeface classification. One could say that it is rather neutral and unromantic but it does have a certain friendliness about it.
Dew is a script font with blobs on the stems that according to author’s imagination resemble dew drops on the caules. It gives an impression of fragrance and freshness and thus can be used for informal headings and short advertising texts for perfumes and cosmetics.
The font was developed by Ekaterina Pulenko and released by ParaType in 2009.
You're lost and alone with your titanium laptop on an ice floe in the Antarctic. The large Polar Bear which was pursuing you sits on the mainland a hundred yards away, eyeing you hungrily, chewing on one of your boots.
You've already lost almost all feeling in your feet and hands... as you endeavor to pound out the words “I may be some time” on your G4, a chill wind freezes your fingers to the metal casing...

Belwe was designed by Georg Belwe for the Dresden typefoundry Schelter & Giesecke in 1926. Belwe, clearly influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, has character shapes that are full and soft, with serifs that vary in angle and style throughout the alphabet.
This display type is just right for menus, invitations, or any printed piece that requires an Art Nouveau look or an unusual touch.
Sassoon was designed in 1995 by Rosemary Sassoon in the style of typefaces found in schoolbooks in the early 20th century. The font exhibits a harmony between the space within and outside of the letters.
The forms have soft, round forms which give text an almost ornamental character.
This flexible font can be used for headlines or text, in small or large point sizes.
SCR fonts are screen optimized (also called ‘pixel fonts’). Unlike standard fonts (and like the few well-hinted fonts like Verdana or Arial), they give a crisp look on screen at very small sizes, thus increasing legibility.
The perfect applications for those fonts are web pages and software user interfaces (computer, cellular phones, console games and any other system that uses a screen interface). More…
Kerning is the adjustment of space between certain pairs of characters (like ‘AV’) to make text look more fluid, thus increasing legibility and appeal. To benefit from this feature, auto-kerning must be activated in the application.
In Photoshop, kerning must be set to ‘Metrics’. Although SCR fonts are optimized for screen, they can be used for print (in Illustrator or Indesign for example) for a decorative ‘computer text’ effect.
In this case, there is no constraint: they can be used as any other font. For screen use (in Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash... ), they have to keep aligned with the screen pixel grid not to look blurred or distorted.
To achieve this, here are the guidelines to follow:
In Photoshop, text can be precisely moved with [Edit Free Transform]. In Flash, movie clips containing text fields must also be positioned at integer values on the stage. Text must be aligned to the left or right only.
Center alignment can be simulated with left alignment by adding spaces at the begin of each line. To dispense with the positioning and alignment constraints, text anti-aliasing can be turned off if the application permits it (Photoshop, Flash MX 2004).
Vertical and horizontal scaling must be set to 100%. Faux bold or Faux italic must not be used. The document must neither be resized on export, nor allow resizing (Flash Movies).
When the original Aaux was introduced in 2002, I intended to go back and expand the family to offer more versatility. Years went by before I was willing to pick it up again and invest the proper time into building a viable and useful recut.
Just putting a new designation and tweaking a few glyphs here and there would not do the designer or the typeface justice; instead, I chose to redraw each glyph’s skeleton from scratch for the four main subsets of the super family along with their italics.
Each glyph across the super family is ‘connected at the hip’ with each style—each character carries the no frills, simple architecture that endeared so many users to it. More…
Additionally, all of the original weight variants have all been incorporated within the OpenType shell: Small Caps and Old Style Figures are there along with new tabular figures, numerators and denominators, expanded f-ligatures and a complete Central European character set.
Named for the famous Bertram Mills Circus, this typeface has widespread appeal and is especially effective when a jovial, light-hearted look is desired. Invented by British designer Martin Wait who was inspired by the casual lettering of circus graphics.
Lewis F. Day, in his 1910 classic Alphabets Old and New, filed this work by Laurence Schall under the category of Celtic-inspired, and surely it is both.
This font included a few special extras, including a Celtic cross in the florin position, a Celtic knot is the dagger position, a shamrock as the asterisk, and a double shamrock in the double-dagger position.
Both versions of this font include the Latin 1252 and Central European 1250 character sets.
Foliage Ornaments was inspired by the foliage designs used in historic art and architecture.
There is an assortment of 47 ornaments located under the character set keys.

When the Garamond is too old fashioned and the Optima is worn out, the Dualis will fit the gap.
