Falfurrias NF
Another in the Whiz-Bang Woodtype series, based on authentic xylographic designs from the late nineteenth century. Named after (surprise!) a small town in Texas. The net effect is a typeface which can add style...

Brazzaville NF
Barnhard Brothers and Spindler called this typeface Congo when it appeared in their circa-1910 type catalog. The design is characterized by strong Art Nouveau influences, tight spacing and a large x-height.
Nanki Poo NF
This little gem is based on a typeface discovered in a Boston Type Foundry catalog from the late 1800s, originally called “Mikado”. This font gets its name from one of the more memorable characters...

Hardy Har Har NF
In their circa 1900 specimen catalog, Barnhard Brothers and Spindler called this typeface “Samoa”, suggesting exotic locales. On the other hand, it also suggests some serious fun, and is named in honor of British...
