About Contempo Elan Font Family


Where's the party? Don't forget Contempo Elan! This stunning new font comes with it's own party ornaments. The right solution for any festive occasion, this super innovative face comes in two flavors. Contempo Elan Grand Script is a surprisingly elegant alternative to a more traditional formal script. Designed by Wesley Poole of Hawaii, this alphabet is definitely a hip script. Early reviews call this font "remarkable" and "a masterwork". Contempo Elan Ornamental is elegant and fun! Just perfect for those last minute Holiday announcements or any use that requires a classy, celebratory typeface, Contempo Elan Ornamental fits the bill. Equally at home on board the Enterprise or beckoning revelers at Mardi Gras, Contempo Elan belongs in every type library, just for fun. Party on.

About Poole

Wesley sent us these thoughts when we asked him to submit a description of Wesley Poole, the foundry: “Even though I've been using type for decades, this is my first foray into the other side of the equation. “I remember watching our town printer in his bib overalls, his pica pole visible in his left breast pocket, sitting at his prized linotype machine while it spit out hot lead! I started in the design business when we ordered ‘cold type’. We had to spec it out then paste it up. This sounds positively Medieval doesn’t it? My son and I haven’t given any thought to creating a ‘foundry’, per se. We don’t have ambitions beyond just working together. No employees. No shingle-out-front facility. So there isn’t a foundry beyond two artisans creating artwork. This could change. We’ll see. For now, that’s the situation. By the way, we will never use any portion of any existing typefaces. Any work that comes from here will always be original.”
