Font Design Help
Here are four font families for book design use.
Brinar and Arturo are designed to produce smooth type color that is very comfortable and easy to read. Reaction to Brinar has been excellent.
Amico and Aerle are designed for headers in book design and work especially well with the serif book fonts found here.
This is my first popular font: a humanist sans book font family. It has been the best selling font I have ever released — by far. When it was first released I was #1 on MyFonts Starlets lists for almost six weeks. Brinar remained in their best seller list of the top 50 fonts at MyFonts for several months. Even now (15 months later) it remains 166 in the best-seller list for the past 30 days and 145 in overall popularity on a MyFonts site with just barely less than 60,000 fonts and thousands of font designers.
This font family is based on original drawings inspired by Eurelio, one of the alphabets in one of Dan Solo's Dover Clipart booklets. It has gone through many changes and refinements from it's early days as Altra & AltraTwo. The result is a font family that works extremely well in situations needing the elegance of calligraphic letterforms while still requiring superb readability.
Amico is Italian for friend and this new font family is exactly that. In the beautiful tradition of Corinthian, Gill Sans, and Frutiger, which gave me a hunger for good looking sans serif fonts, this new family is solidly in that tradition.
As I learn more & more that typographic excellence is all about readability, comprehension, & communication, these industrious sans serif fonts are used more and more. I didn't push the envelope as much as I did in my best seller, Brinar. However, the Amico font family makes excellent headers for body copy set in Brinar. Ardone, or Amitale.
These are two pages of fonts designed for body copy specifically. They also work well for headers.
Here on this page I can discount as much as I like & you will find discounts from 45% to 75%. Here you can also order all of my font designs beginning in 1983.
