Fill yer boots! - ORDERED ONLINE, DELIVERED OFFLINE: BERTHOLD BQ and ADOBE BERTHOLD, EMIGRE, FONT BUREAU etc. We're often asked what an offline order is and the answer is simple - if you're buying online at type.co.uk but the product has the word 'offline' beside it this simply means you can order and pay for it there and then, however you'll receive your font via e-mail as opposed to downloading it as normal. So now you can order your BERTHOLD, FONT BUREAU, EMIGRE fonts from type.co.uk and have them delivered to you via e-mail in minutes during our normal office hours. We're busy adding more foundries to our catalogue all the time so stay tuned. - NEW G-TYPE CATALOGUE We recently mailed out the fantastic new G-Type catalogue designed by Nick Cooke which features colourful anecdotes set in Nick's typefaces Houschka, Nubian, Precious, Chevin etc. If you missed out then either e-mail sales@type.co.uk and request one or download the PDF (and loads more) from here. The entire G-TYPE Library is now available on CD with a 10 CPU License, contact sales@type.co.uk for more details. Browse and buy G-Type fonts online here. - OPENTYPE COLLECTIONS FROM LINOTYPE More and more classic fonts are becoming available in OpenType (OT) format and if you're in the market for a full library we recommend purchasing the Linotype OT Collection, 1392 industry standard fonts available with a 10 or 20 CPU License. The major benefit of the Linotype OT Collection (unlike Adobe's Font Folio OT Edition) is that, where applicable, legacy PostScript and TrueType versions of each typeface are bundled with the OT format at no extra cost. For Neue Helvetica fans the entire range of 51 weights in OpenType Pro format can be bought on one CD for £599 - the Pro fonts contain Central European (CE) as well as West European characters. Mention the magic code word 'TT4' when ordering and you'll get a complimentary TAKETYPE 4 CD containing 182 text and display fonts worth over 100 pounds while stocks last. To order these CDs or speak to us about other type libraries, exclusive collections, custom font design, corporate and foreign language solutions please e-mail sales@type.co.uk or call +44 (0)20 7226 4411. |
