Thometz Debutz

Joshua Lurie-Terrell on February 18, 2004

David Thometz has finally taken the wraps off a group of long-awaited faces, some of which we’ve been privy to the development of over at Typophile. For the next 10 days, David is offering a special 25% discount to Typographica readers (see below).


DTD Hefeweizen family (6 styles)

DTD Hefeweizen is a contemporary take on the textura blackletter style. Comprised of straight lines and angles sloped at ratios of 1/2 or 2/1, Hefeweizen is a highly geometric design with extensive alternates and ligatures.

DTD Silvertone Woodtype family (4 styles)

DTD Silvertone Woodtype had its roots in capitals and figures from a specimen of Ludlow 6-EC Gothic Extra Condensed woodtype. Thometz interpreted and expanded on the set, adding an original lower case and a set of alternates.

DTD Seriatim Ornaments (1 style)

DTD Seriatim is a new and innovative take on the geometric sans-serif, with a wide variety of alternate characters and elegant ornaments to make it a highly versatile type for display or more discreet text use.

DTD Seriatim Ornaments are designed to work with the DTD Seriatim sets, but they can be used equally well with other fonts, or function alone. They perform especially handsomely with geometric sans-serif faces. These elegant ornaments include an assortment of fleurons, hederas, fleur-de-lis and other botanicals, pointing fists, shells, suns, moons, stars, pineapples, grapes, citrus slices, card suits, Celtic knotwork, and even sitting cats.

More DTD Seriatim fonts are scheduled for release in the coming weeks.

All DTD fonts are available in both Postscript Type 1 and TrueType formats for Macintosh and PC/Windows platforms.
