Canada Type News | February 2007

Font Releases:

-Genesis: The concept for this disconnected script is quite novel and original among cursives and calligraphic fonts: The minuscules are mostly made with slightly clubbed strokes, which becomes clearly visible in the ascenders and descenders. This alone gives the face a bubbly appearance unlike any other. The formula is completed with two sets of beautiful calligraphic majuscules and a few alternates.

-Militia: Militia is the face of well-orchestrated military coups, tanks and gun barrels, maps and covert plans, camouflage and war paint. It has no irony, patience, or give-and-take politic. It is strong, successful, swift and significantly in your face.

-Steiner Special: This particular kind of art nouveau face is one that appeals very much to kids. Steiner Special can be used in upper-lower or all-upper, and can maintain its enthusiasm and excitement through any bending, stretching, squeezing, warping or any thinkable filter your favorite design program has. Children book covers, candy and cereal packaging, fun headlines and posters for kid events are but few of the possible uses of this font. If you're designing anything for kids, give this font a try and you won't regret it.

Febuary 2007 Notes:

- Until March 21, all of our already-discounted Value Packs are available for 15% less. This is the best deal you will get on popular high quality font bundles the whole year!

- Our Valet family has been upgraded with Cyrillic and Greek character sets. This upgrade is available at no charge for anyone who licensed Valet, Valet SC, or Valet Pro since their initial release.

- By increasing popular demand, Sterling Script is a real Pro now, with the whole seven-font family combined into a single sophisticated OTF file. Must use the latest Adobe apps or QuarkXpress 7 to take advantage of this high-tech beauty.

- We are re-instating last year's popular monthly raffle! Four lucky ones from our February customers will be receiving their choice of a Canada Type package (excluding value packs) at no charge. The random draw will happen on March 2, and winners will be informed by email by March 5. Good luck!

Thanks for spending time with Canada Type, and see you again in March.
