So enjoy, and please email me if you have any comments or criticisms.Posted by matt at 12:08 PM on June 29, 2007Zapatista Released Buy it now from Myfonts.com and YWFT.Zapatista is derived from a typeface that I designed in 1998 but never released. It is a playful slab serif with a texture that is sometimes subtle and reminiscent of the irregularities of letterpress printing. Like a fine wine, this face has been aged to perfection and is now ready for public consumption. It includes a full character set with accented characters as well as a second full set of alternate uppercase, lowercase, and numbers. OpenType makes it easy to mix and match the two sets of letters to create custom designs. It's like having 2 fonts in one! Posted by matt at 09:36 AM on June 14, 2007Quantico Released I'd like to announce the release of my latest type family, Quantico. Quantico is an angular typeface family that was inspired by old beer packaging and military lettering. It utilizes 30 degree angles and completely straight lines to form unique character shapes. Equally at home in text or display settings, Quantico contains the standard MADType character set and includes 3 alternate characters as well as several ligatures.Buy now at Myfonts and YouworkforthemPosted by matt at 10:24 AM on April 19, 2007MADType 2007 Catalog - 10 Years of TypeIt's been over 10 years now that I have been making and selling my fonts. In celebration of this anniversary, I have created a catalog of my complete retail font library. This is no normal type specimen book, though. I wrote a completely original pangram for nearly every font in the catalog. This makes for some interesting reading, so please enjoy!I would like to give thanks to Mark Simonson for creating the Pangrammer Helper that I used to make my pangrams.Download the MADType 2007 Anniversary Catalog Here.Posted by matt at 10:49 AM on February 02, 2007Pacioli Released Available for purchase at Myfonts and youworkforthem on Jan 25th, 2007.My latest release is part revival, part interpretation. It's a geometric display font based upon Luca Pacioli's 1509 alphabet of "divine proportion." Luca Pacioli (1445-1514 or 1517) was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar who lived during the Renaissance. While he was the chairman of mathematics in Milan, he collaborated with and taught mathematics to Leonardo da Vinci. He published his second important book "De divina proportione," in 1509. This book discussed topics including mathematical proportion, geometry, and architecture. Along with beautiful three-dimensional renderings by da Vinci, Pacioli included diagrams detailing the geometric construction of the Roman alphabet. Pacioli was not the first or the last man in his era to describe the building of letters mathematically. Felice Feliciano did this before Pacioli, and Albrecht Dürer further developed these forms years after. According to Pacioli, the thick strokes should be 1/9th of the height, and the thin strokes should have 1/2 the weight of the thick strokes.I felt that this beautiful alphabet needed to be restored to its full geometric glory and set out to construct an accurate replica using Pacioli's instructions. Included in the font you'll find the letters that have the grid overlay and also the letters without the grid. The letters J, W, U, and Z were not included in the book, so I have created my own versions of these characters that fit into Pacioli's grid. Pacioli shows two different Os in the book, so I have included the second O as well as a second J, Q, and Z as OpenType stylistic alternates. Also included in the font are border patterns and a fleuron taken from the cover of the book.Posted by matt at 05:06 PM on January 23, 2007About this site: MADType is the typeface design studio of Matthew Desmond and is located in Minneapolis, MN.
