A unexpected encounter

 While traveling through Watseka, Illinois recently, I stopped for gas and went inside the attached convenience store. I noticed some lettering that looked familiar so I took a quick picture so I could check it when I returned home. 

A look at my font Brrrrr, a font I designed thirty years ago, showed that it was the font used. I wonder how they found it.

It is always fun to see one of my typefaces being used.

Additions to FlyHigh

FlyHigh is a decorative slab-serif family that was designed in 1996. It has a low x-height and works better for decorative purposes such as invitations than for book text. Originally it had the standard four styles of regular, italic, bold, and bolditalic. In 2020 the family was expanded with new styles of semibold, semibolditalic, extrabold, and extrabold italic. The new styles are shown in yellow below.

FlyHigh is available from myfonts and fontspring.

More Kwalett

I have expanded the new Kwalett family from 10 to 20 styles by creating a set of narrow widths.  The narrow set of fonts has the same weights as the original styles: thin, light, regular, semibold, and bold,  and each comes with an italics style. Below the original styles are in white and the new narrow styles are in yellow. Notice that each word contains two styles, the upright and matching italics.

Below the thin narrow and thin styles are contrasted at the top and the bold italics and the bold italics narrow styles are contrasted at the bottom.

The revised family of 20 styles is available on myfonts.
