- NEW G-TYPE FONTS
Nick Cooke's wonderful G-TYPE collection grows ever larger and more diverse with the addition of ' Amulet ' which has a Celtic calligraphic influence (inspired by the Book of Kells in Dublin's Trinity College) & the multi-functional must-have ' Precious Sans ' family, 16 weights ranging from Thin to Ultra Black with italics. The accompanying 'Precious Serif' family will be unveiled next month.

Fans of Cooke's 'Houschka' family will be pleased to know that an alternate set is now available with more traditional 'A', 'W' & 'w' characters which will offer Corprate Identity specialists another sans alternative and complement the existing set nicely. Have a look ay Houschka Alternate.
