A blackletter face with a unique taste of Portuguese calligraphy, Orbe manages to evoke a light and spontaneous feel despite its exotic flavor and flourished details. It’s no wonder this typeface comes from the same foundry that brought us Zanzibar and Incognito. Orbe is Rui Abreu’s first design for Fountain and, with an extensive character set, Fountain’s first OpenType release. |

Velvety and delicious, Chocolate melts easily into designs for packaging, menus, and cookbooks — anything that needs to be appetizing and appealing. A lavish mix of alternate glyphs gives Chocolate a creamy-smooth flow, as it varies from standard shapes to sweet swashes. |

Destination Unkown, Rocketship from Infinity, Apocypha, Agent of the Uncanny, Appointment with Danger The latest typefaces from veteran comic book artist Rian Hughes jump from the pages of science fiction stories, pulp novels, horror film titles, and B-movie posters — gritty imperfections intact. |

||
Reliquary 17, Kelly Twenty, Las Perdidas, Cordoba, Lagos A worthy follow-up to last year’s hits, Device continues a love affair with the crumbling and corroded. Mr. Hughes is serious about the style: most of these tarnished types contain alternates of each letter for more accurate disintigration emulation. |

Gert Wiescher remembers a time when he could get peanuts, a drink, and a ticket to the matinee for a single German Mark. This font is a tribute to the script that was typically found on the movie leaflets and marquees of that era. |
||
 |
||
Fleurons 1-5, Initials, Labels Decorative initials and embellishments evoke the age of adornment. The fleurons serve beautifully as underlines, frames, and patterns, or in combination with Wiescher’s scripts like Ellida, Fleurie, Bodoni Classic, and Royal Classic. |
