Museum is the Wundes foundry's first font revival. These letter forms are scanned from the engravings of Freeman Delamotte who in 1879 published a spectacular set of ancient and mediaeval ornamental alphabets. The original forms for this font were created in 1490, a few years before Columbus discovered America. There was not much information on the origin of this font, save that it came from a British museum, hence the name. The original character set was missing the letters J,P,V and W so I've constructed these letters in the same style to complete the alphabet. Other than those 4 additions, the engravings are true to their original forms.

Über Wundes

When I say "Wundes foundry" what I mean is 'me'. I am a single designer who's career, (after delivering pizza for a few years) has been made up of layouts for websites, CD covers, and Flash actionscript programming. I did some illustrator scripting for Robbie of the Wilton Foundry, and he told me that if you look at all the work that goes into making a font, you quickly realize that at the prices they are sold for, you're almost giving them away. Being a decent artist and a terrible businessman, I thought, what a great idea, and so here I am. After building my first font, I can say I now understand what he was talking about. Each font, by any designer is, and HAS to have been a labor of love or it would never have been completed. What I look for when creating a font, is a unique way to blend imagery and typography, so the final product becomes a synthesis of symbol and object.
