Three Islands Press

Three Islands Press (a.k.a., "3IP") releases its irregular type designs irregularly from offices within a stone's throw of Clam Cove, on the central coast of Maine, USA. 3IP is perhaps best known for its antique penmanship fonts modeled after the actual 18th- and 19th- century handwriting of actual people. Owner and type designer Brian Willson has an obsession with authenticity — as whole regiments of historical reenactors can attest. Other realistic specialties include: historical text-type simulations, casual modern handwriting styles, and a "grunge" face or two.
