No, not that sort of virus, we're talking about Jon Barnbrook's Virus foundry and his latest typographical masterpiece called 'Infidel'. Says Barnbrook: "Infidel is a font based on letterforms found in Christian illuminated manuscripts and bibles from the Middle Ages. These idiosyncratic forms, some beautiful, some ugly, have been redrawn in a contemporary way that we hope you find interesting." Infidel is available as a package of four different versions which can be mixed together. Buy and download now. - CHEVIN ITALICS NOW AVAILABLE G-Type's new rounded sans 'Chevin' now has accompanying italics in all six weights to boost its appeal still further. A truly wonderful blend of elegance and functionality. Download the updated PDF and purchase the family online. - ÜNDT TYPEFAECES: MORE THAN A PLAY ON WORDS Introducing our latest signing, Ündt TypeFaeces, the foundry which features the dark, humorous and sometimes difficult type designs by Marcus McCallion. Controversial? Make your own mind up. Marcus has cut his teeth on some very high profile commissions for MTV and Nickelodeon and currently works in the Barnbrook studio, a meeting of minds as you'll see by his type output which is available now. - IDENTIKAL WORLD DOMINATION CONTINUES! Not content with being a sought-after graphic design duo, The Identikal Foundry (twins Adam and Nick Hayes) have just released their first dance EP, a 6 tracker issued under the ID3 banner, in collaboration with Jay Iommi (son of Black Sabbath's Tony!). We have a few very limited edition promos available, on offer to the first five people who buy a full Identikal type family online. Simply browse through the Identikal Family Foundry section, choose and buy a family (no single weights) to qualify. Once you have made your choice and bought the fonts send an e-mail to sales@type.co.uk to claim your prize. - DEVICE: PARALUCENT EXPANSION Not a new Spacemen 3 track but a reference to Rian Hughes' 'Paralucent' type family which he has just extended by adding 3 Stencil weights. The standard and condensed families have also been re-structured to include italics. Hughes describes Paralucent as his take on 'Univers' and we like it a lot. Check it out. - LATEST FONT BUREAU RETAIL FONTS Font Bureau maintain their excellent standards with the release of Cyrus Highsmith's dynamic serif 'Prensa' and new weights for Richard Lipton's acclaimed scripts 'Avalon' and 'Sloop'.
