But some publishers are a bit more loyal, like Pyr who publish Mark Chabourn’s novels. A few years ago they started featuring our Valdemar font on his Age of Misrule series, and not only did they stick with it for the whole series, but now he has two new series out, The Dark Age and Kingdom of the Serpent, with a couple of books each, also featuring Valdemar.

Both series feature our Valdemar font for their series titles, or more specifically a combination of Valdemar and the popular companion font Valdemar Alternate. Although they have stuck with the original small caps look of the font and not used the lower case version. They have also added some variations of their own, creating a new D and a new T using elements of the I from the original font design, changes which are still consistent with the original look of the font, and forgivable given their loyalty and repeated use of the font.

Slava is based on lettering by legendary Art Nouveau master Alphons Mucha from his later post-Parisian period when he returned to Prague and did a lot of design work in support of the slavic nationalist movement. The letter forms still have many of the characteristics of his theatrical posters from the 1890s, but some added slavic character which distinguish it from his earlier work. It is one of the featured fonts in our Alphons Mucha Fonts and Art Package along with a great selection of other original fonts based on Mucha designs.

The demo version of Slava can be downloaded for free. If you like it, you can download the full version from our ONLINE STORE for just $24.

War of the Fallen is basically be a fantasy card game with collectible elements for the iPhone – obviously influenced by games like Magic the Gathering, but with some concessions to the format. It’s an interesting idea and the art is very impressive, but the game seems static and the format is restrictive. It looks very good, but I wasn’t really drawn in and compelled to play.

However, if you like the Abaddon font, you can add it to your collection just VISIT OUR STORE.

Ripley is a new titling font with a bold character weight and a somewhat randomly distressed and unbalanced, tall and narrow sans serif look.  It includes capital letters and custom small caps weighted to match the capitals.  It is based on the title lettering from the original 1955 pulp paperback printing of Patricia Highsmith’s classic suspense novel The Talented Mister Ripley, hence the name.  For some reason the look of the font brings to mind something dark and Eastern European from the cold war era, which inspired the sample graphics.

The demo version of the font can be downloaded for free. If you like it, you can download the full version with both character sets from our ONLINE STORE for just $24.

Bilitis is an original “brush script” style font we designed for a project back in 1998 and released then with some success.  It has a strong visual appeal with rough hewn character forms which are very unusual.  In this new release we’ve also added a larger selection of alternate character forms and ligatures to add more variety if you want to explore the extended character set.  As a script which doesn’t have too much of a refined and elegant look it’s a nice alternative style to have in your collection.

The demo version of Bilitis can be downloaded for free. If you like it, you can download the full version with both character sets from our ONLINE STORE for just $24.
