After a few years of designing corporate fonts and lettering, G-Type founder Nick Cooke released his first collection of typefaces in 1999, including the Houschka and Nubian font families, and the single fonts Geetype and Gizmo. He has designed fonts which are in use by leading companies and publications including Laura Ashley, Hardy Amies, MacUser magazine, Sainsbury's Magazine, The Mail On Sunday and The Scottish Football Association. Chevin, a rounded sans face named after a hill near Nick's home in West Yorkshire, is highly prominent as Royal Mail's Corporate Font and is also used by the Post Office and Sweden's SKF Corporation. Nick's first OpenType release is a wonderful pen script called Olicana Rough which is stuffed full of alternates and features including multiple ligatures and swash variants; Olicana Smooth is also now available.

February 2008 saw the release of Houschka Rounded, a six weight OpenType companion to the original Houschka sans face; Houschka Rounded has recently been used in the Visa 'Life Flows Better' campaign.

Houschka Pro is also now available, a complete overhaul of the original Houschka family complete with a Cyrillic character set.

G-Type fonts are exclusively sold by Fontworks and type.co.uk

Sovereign is a distinctive 7 weight family. Serif Caps and semi-serif lower case characters make for an unusual blend but one which works well, particularly at larger display sizes. Tapered stems and calligraphically influenced serifs give plenty of movement and character.
