Announcing New Release from IHOF - P22 CoDependent


P22 CoDependent, designed by Terry Wudenbachs for IHOF, is a revival of the Independant typeface from 1930 created by Dutch designer Johannes Nicolaas Coenraad Collette along with Jos Dufour from Belgium. Independant was released in metal by the Belgian division of the Amsterdam Type Foundry in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the independence of Belgium from the Netherlands.

Despite the name, the two fonts contained in the set, Regular and Shadow, are not codependent upon each other. They can be used alone, but together they can create a dynamic two-color option. There have been other fonts inspired by and revived directly from Independant, but this version adheres the original design with the added consideration of how the shadow version will overlap. P22 CoDependent is Perfect for a wide array of design uses.

Special Introductory Offer- The P22 CoDependent Set is free with any $50 font purchase placed on the P22 website through May 1, 2012 only.

P22 announces new release— Ruffcut by Ted Staunton


Ruffcut is the latest edition to P22's Sherwood Type Collection of fonts by Ted Staunton. It is an antique wood type style that evokes the look and feel of type used in the design of poster-sized advertisements for circus, fairground and like events in the late 19th century. It is inspired by the memories of printing letterpress posters on an old cast-iron flatbed press where the oversized posters were usually composed directly on the bed of the press using mostly wood type as large as two feet high.

The Ruffcut Set contains 2 styles, Woody and Plain, in basic OpenType format and is available for the special introductory price of $23.96 (reg. $29.95) through March 1, 2012. For more details or to place your order, go here.
