MyFonts’ review: Prototype Fonts are the work of Brooklyn designer Charles Wilkin. Back in 1994 he started to reinterpret his hand-done illustrations as digital typography. His type designs show a diversity from the cute, hand-drawn style all the way to experimental manipulations with digital forms. Our favorite in the first category has to be Superchunk – we’d say its letters and piccies were ideal for punk rock posters, but that’s not quite right unless punk got funnier while we were away... Velvet Velour is our fave in the second category: it’s pop, it’s manga ... is it squeezed from a toothpaste tube?

Biography

Prototype Experimental Foundry was started in 1994 by Charles Wilkin, owner of Automatic Art and Design in New York City as a means to translate Charles' collage style illustration into typographic form.

The result is a unique mix of style and function, ranging from organic and modern to textural and illegible.

Many of our fonts were created specifically for layering with images, graphics or other typefaces. We encourage you to experiment with our fonts and discover new and exciting ways to use them!
