About the family


Franken Jr AOE Pro channels the spirited comic-book titling of the 1966 Hanna-Barbera cartoon “Frankenstein Jr.”, transforming that charming source lettering into a fuller, more capable display typeface for modern use. The original title design carried a wonderfully offbeat personality, with bouncy proportions, quirky weight shifts, and an unmistakable retro animation energy. Franken Jr Pro preserves that playful mid-century comic feel while expanding it into a richer typographic system with Small Caps, Unlimited Fractions, Superiors, Inferiors, Ordinals, and broader language support. The result is a lively display font that feels equally suited to cartoon branding, children’s titles, retro packaging, comic-inspired posters, novelty headlines, and playful editorial work. It captures the cheerful absurdity of vintage TV titling while giving designers a more versatile and production-ready tool.

About Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
