Entertain and embellish with the typefaces of IHOF, Comicraft, and Norwegian Fonts. We are known for workhorse text and corporate typefaces, but these new collections offer something slightly different from standard fare, proving that FontShop is your source for decorative and novelty typefaces, too.

International House of Fonts (IHOF), a division of P22, is a type boutique that showcases distinctive type designs and designers from around the world. The IHOF collection embodies a sensitivity towards historical lettering while introducing unique and contemporary typefaces.

P22 Imperial Script

A large x-height makes Rob Leuschke’s formal script unusually readable at any size.

P22 Pooper

P22 Shibumi

P22 Corinthia

No one crafts elegant, contemporary scripts like Mr. Leuschke.

P22 Bifur

Though he is best known for Peignot, A. M. Cassandre’s first typeface was Bifur, designed in two parts — two colors for each glyph. Rich Kegler’s digitization includes six fonts with layerable sets of wide lines, fine lines, and solid overlays. He took it a step further and added a lowercase that complements Cassandre's initials surprisingly well.

P22 Dearest

Christina Torre brings to life the handwritten pages of a 19th century German book.

P22 Killkenny
Nearly 1000 glyphs of Victorian ornamentation.

P22 Peanut
A face full of bounce and playfulness with plentiful alternates.

P22 Operina

The 16th century calligrapher, Ludovico degli Arrighi, is revered as one of the finest calligraphers ever. James Grieshaber’s exhaustive OpenType font features three variations of Arrighi's script that can be used interchangeably. Cyrillic too!

P22 Zaner

With over 3000 glyphs, P22 Zaner is one of the most expansive script fonts available. It is also unique in its style, capturing the beautiful stroke contrast of penman Charles Paxton Zaner.

Comicraft was founded by Richard Starkings and John Roshell, pioneers of digital lettering for the comic book industry. Today, Comicraft’s fonts are widely accepted as the industry standard, used by Dark Horse Comics, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, and NBC. See why J. J. Abrams, creator of “Alias” and “Lost” called their fonts “the most intense, emotional, and dramatic you can find”.
