New Foundry: Lanston Type
      
Lanston Type's rich history dates back to 1887 when Tolbert Lanston received his first patent for a mechanical typesetting device. Later refinements led to the Monotype casting machine and the emergence of the Lanston Monotype Company as one of the most renowned type supply companies in the world. Lanston Type is now owned by P22.

The Rimmer Type Foundry features the type designs of Jim Rimmer. It is a rare typographic craftsman who is fully at ease cutting metal typefaces by hand and working the same designs with Bezier Curves on a Macintosh computer. Jim Rimmer is this craftsman and more. He has designed typefaces for his own books that he designs, Illustrates, prints and occasionally writes himself.  Over 200 digital faces have been made including the imposing 90 font ""Dokument"" family.

      



  
New Font: Egyptian Slate
      
Egyptian Slate: Just as the camera adds weight to human faces, serifs can add weight to typographic faces. Rod McDonald trimmed and adjusted his new Egyptian Slate™ design as it emerged from its sans serif predecessor, the Slate™ design. The result is a solid and stylish slab serif design that will look superb in the spotlight of your choosing.

DutchFonts is the type foundry set up by Ko Sliggers (Dutch) to develop and sell his typedesigns.
