Snow Cap
Snow Cap from Bitstream is a wintry display face with snow effects dropped onto Jennifer Maestre’s Mister Earl. Released in 1995, the snow was artfully placed onto each character by Bitstream designer Richard Stetler.
Stuyvesant BT
Based on an engravers’ pattern plate, this outline form deriving from an English roundhand was fitted to linecasting matrices by Intertype about 1940.
Schadow
Designed by Georg Trump in 1938, this typeface was Weber’s answer to Ludwig & Mayer’s Candida.
Orbit-B
A second VGC face, this one by S. Biggenden, borrowing from the structure of MICR figures to lend computer associations to the page.
P.T. Barnum
One of the original nineteenth century designs, cut at Barnhart Brothers & Spindler in Chicago about 1880, passed on to us through ATF. Unlike most Circus types, the serifs of P.T. Barnum are bracketed.
Oranda
Bitstream’s Oranda was designed by the noted Dutch designer Gerard Unger as a custom project for the European printer manufacturer, Océ, in 1986.
