The part of the large project on revival and further development (by drawing many additional glyphs) of the 20th century’s typewriters’ fonts. And especially the most famous, versatile and beautiful typewriter: IBM Selectric’s golfball fonts, lost for the civilization for many decades after ‘80s, not being created since then in digital vector form. This new sub-project started in July 2018 for the restoration of the most beautiful classical typefaces, used during the 20th century on the extremely rare now IBM Selectric Composer typewriters / desktop publishing systems. Together with Nick Hamze and the Right Reverend Theodore Munk, the collectors of old typewriters. IBM showed the perfect taste by developing these best historical book typefaces of the human civilization for typewriters. So people could type then using both the real book faces, and the famous classical ones.

Sobre Indian Summer Studio

Indian Summer Studio was founded in 2001 by Alexander Bobrov as a design & software studio of a full range, incl. logos & identity, book illustrations, web development, web projects & communities, game design. In early 2000s its focus became type design, lettering, calligraphy. Considering that the whole contemporary design is based on a typeface design, written λόγος. One of the main type design fields of the studio is reviving notable historical types (of the 20th century, 19th and further back in history down to antiquity), widely used by civilization before 1990s, when they were replaced by relatively few vector computer fonts and were almost lost among this new vogue, despite their utmost graphical & aesthetical values.
