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: Montgisard
There are certain design concepts which deserve more than one exploration. One of those is the combination of gothic elements with more more traditional Roman-style lettering. Classic font designer and calligrapher Rudolph Koch liked the idea as demonstrated in our Koch Gothic font. The idea of combining Roman capitals with a gothic lowercase is the basis of our new Montgisard font, which has a rough calligraphic look, unusual capitals with cruciform embellishments and a classic gothic lowercase. The result is interesting and unusual looking – excellent for titles and poster applications.

The “download and try” link is broken – goes to a 404 page.
There was a typo in the name of the file. Give it a try now.
