Über die Familie


For many many years, Berne Nadall's Caslon Antique has been the staple typeface for all things meant to look like old metal type of the sort used from the 16th through the 19th centuries (think Les Misérables). Malvolio Antique adds features that make it easier to achieve that look, and much more realistically. Its automatic contextual alternates switch between three complete character sets so that repeated characters have different weathering, selling that they came from different pieces of metal type. Additionally, it has historical forms (initial and medial long s and its ligatures) and contextual alternates (u for v). Malvolio Antique Italic has a full set of Swash capitals. Both typefaces are adapted directly from the body type in Shakespeare's 1623 First Folio.

Malvolio Antique

Über The Ampersand Forest

The Ampersand Forest is DC Scarpelli. And probably vice versa. I am a wholly inveterate Type Nerd. I’ve been in love with letterforms my whole life, and, for 16 years, I taught type history, type design, and typography as a college professor. Type is voice, and I love giving people a voice. A variety of voices, actually, so that they can choose whichever one is best for them for a particular context. And I don’t just mean designers, either! Type’s for everyone, and every typeface has a purpose and context.For me, deliciousness—flavor—is key. Not all type has to be “good type,” whatever that means. It should be designed with thought and care and craft. It should be supremely usable. But it should aim beyond usability toward (trust me: this is the right word) yumminess.
