In 1993, PopticsOne arrived, with 171 all new characters,
including numerals, punctuation, basic symbols, and 52 fairly unusual dingbats. She
even developed two versions of all letters and numbers and some punctuation, which
gives you the opportunity to introduce variation into your type set.
The dingbats are absolutely the hallmark of all the Poptics
fonts! Most sport a reverse version for visuals that go the other way!
Later, Patricia came with PopticsTwo, yet another really fun
font with still more great (52 in all) dingbats.
Pat says, "The letters are great for posters and flyers
and make excellent drop caps." Once again, the dingbat collection alone
is worth the shareware fee, this one being more generalized with snails, dinosaurs,
kings, trashcans, and much more.
Patricia's latest, PopticsThree is a round tip marker font
with tremendous appeal, and yes, another collection of 52 all new dingbats. This
one is by far my favorite and includes holiday images along with my favorites --
animals in sunglasses!
Upon publication of PopticsThree, Pat says: "Thanks
to all you superior human beings who registered PopticsOne & Two!"
We agree whole heartedly -- register your copy today! Poptics
fonts feature over 500 kerned pairs and look good no matter what software you use
them with. Poptics is a wonderful family, and well worth the paltry $10 fee (per
font) that Pat asks for.
PopticsOne, PopticsTwo, PopticsThree are shareware:
$10.00 each
PS: Check back often because we'll be posting a full Poptics Sampler which shows most characters of all three alphabets in Acrobat (pdf) format. In The Publishers'Warehouse, all three Poptics Fonts will appear for download!
Note, our header at the top of this page was created
with Poptics Three, in Photoshop. We colorized it red, applied the BlackBox
filter "Inner Bevel" and finished it out with a soft Gaussian blur
drop shadow. The "Kool Kat" is also from Poptics Three... one of
those great ding-bats!
