Classic Emigre families from 15 quid! You'd be mad not to take a peek. - OPENTYPE FONT OF THE MONTH: HANDSOME PRO Nick Shinn has utilised the creative potential of OpenType to enhance the realism of his handwriting typeface HANDSOME. Alternates for each lower case character (glyph) are deployed contextually; in other words, if using an OpenType savvy application like InDesign, the glyph which is set is determined by where it appears in the word - at the beginning, middle or end. A cleverly engineered font in 6 weights that recreates the true nature of handwriting more faithfully than any other. Click below to view and buy. View and buy Handsome Pro here.
