Catharsis Fonts is a one-man font foundry run on a hobby basis by astrophysicist Christian Thalmann. He started to draw free fonts several years ago, inspired by the hand-lettered blackboard menus of cafés in New Zealand. Support by the helpful souls on the Typophile forum, as well as the availability of essential software like FontForge, Glyphs, iKern, and SpeedPunk have considerably improved the quality of his fonts since then, motivating him to take the leap into commercial distribution of original fonts.
