FF Soupbone was initially designed on a Mac Classic, using a mouse to draw each letterform in the original (regular) weight. Slowly. Although it was designed to look like handwriting done with a marker, its tools of production include only the computer. The bold and extra bold weights, as well as most of the dingbats were drawn with a Wacom tablet. The whole process took about three years, finding time amid other projects.

Providence was first drawn in 1987 to set lines in a comic book series – FF Providence Sans for the dialog, and its serif companion for running narrative. In 1994 the typefaces were revisited, adding weights and a set of dingbats, and named after the designer’s home town in Rhode Island, USA.
