To test out our idea and show off what we can do, we created the beta version of our first font from our existing collection of wood type. It’s a gorgeous bold, extended slab-serif with the telltale character of a hand-carved typeface. We’re calling it Fatboy, and the weight is Husky.

Designed by Matt Braun & Matt Griffin, this free font harkens to a time before the days of computers and digital type, letterforms were drawn by hand, cut into wood, and printed onto paper on grand machines: a process known as letterpress printing.

While he swears he won’t design for internet explorer and is unable to breathe without his iphone, James is generally an easy-going guy who can be convinced to do almost anything if there’ll be food involved.
