For centuries, designers have chosen type styles to convey unique expressions and to make their work stand out. Today’s computers provide a selection of fonts that serve reasonably well for workaday letters and publications, but have become utterly boring from overuse. If you want your project to attract the reader’s attention you need an original font. Independent type designers have devoted their talents to producing fresh new fonts that can give your text a major boost. Indie Fonts provides a showcase for diverse fonts from some of today's hottest digital type foundries.
In the early 20th century, type reference books provided users with samples from the major monolithic type companies. These books are styled after those classic tools, but features independent firms whose fonts, like their names, are unique. You will discover such foundries as Positype, Process, Suitcase, Mark Simonson, Underware, and Typotheque. The type styles range from the best of Matthew Carter’s classic designs to the latest irreverence of Chank Diesel. Designers searching for unique typefaces will find what they are looking for, whether historical revivals or futuristic techno faces. The books each fully cross-referenced indexes of type designs and designers, accompanied by one-line illustrations of the fonts for quick reference, expedites the search.
Each Indie Fonts book comes with a companion CD-ROM, worth far more than the retail cost of the book—featuring sample fonts from the book’s independent foundries (fully licensed and ready to install).
