New Font: BigBlok
A great many years ago when working in game publishing I had a real fascination with doing titles in a strong, super-bold font called Bolt Bold. The truth is I rather overused it. In doing some research I find it on more than a dozen different game books I wrote in the early 80s, all quite collectable and out of print today.
New Font: Groningen
Groningen is a modern looking font inspired by the Bauhaus design period and some of the elements of industrial design from the 1970s. It features rounded, symmetrical, somewhat mechanical looking characters with a bold weighting which is ideal for title or poster uses. Groningen includes two fonts, the basic character set with some alternate forms and a second ‘degenerated’ version of the font with two alternative versions of each character in different states of corruption and deformity. Groningen and Groningen Degenerated are available individually or as part of a set. Eventually they will be included in our Modern Fonts collection You can try out the free demo version of Groningen for either MacOS or Windows. It features just the characters of the standard set. The full combined set of Groningen is available on our Ordering Site.
