MyFonts’ review: This is the studio of renowned Californian lettering artist Jim Parkinson. Jim has a great record creating logos and unique fonts for magazines, and has also made fonts for retail sale by large type foundries. Our favorites are punchy Balboa, a strong 19th century sansserif, and suave Modesto, which evokes the relaxed good taste of fine cigar box lettering.
