SETS, COMPONENTS, ALTERNATESSome font sets contain multiple fonts that can be used together in a conventional way (such as roman with italics, or light and bold weights). Other sets contain “component” fonts which can be layered and colored to create more complex type illustrations. A few of my fonts also have alternate versions that contain a number of different letterforms giving your overall text a different feel. Many other fonts contain a few special characters or alternates; if you’re really into it, use your Key Caps or Character Map utility to see what all you’ve got!

FONTS ON CDThere are now 4 signed, limited-edition CD collections of my fonts available. They were compiled chronologically and each contains over 60 fonts in TrueType and Postscript for Mac and Windows. Another CD collection includes several of the monograms font sets. Please check the website for availabilty, price, and ordering. These are the only fonts I distribute on disk.
