The series is patterned after typefaces commonly used in children’s books around the turn of the twentieth century. This font gets its letterforms from Caslon Openface, but the incising has been eliminated, the stroke broadened and the serifs rounded; it gets its name from a city in Northern Virginia. (Where, by the way, I pick up the Metro Liner train into Washington D.C. So I'm familiar with "Fairfax Station"! Nick is a member of the Internet Type Designers Association and has designed dozens of great fonts of all kinds -- from shareware to commercial fonts available from the leading foundries. You can download these fonts for both Macintosh and Windows from links posted in the Publishers' Warehouse Loading Dock. I've also included a full font sample here for you as well. Also featured this month is Nick's Nickelodeon. Back to &Type! [ The Design Center ] _ [ DTG Newsletter ] _ [ Designers' Bookshelf ] Want to discuss it?
