I spent much of January on the computer improving typeface families that I created twenty to thirty years ago. Some of what I am doing is partially inspired by America's most prolific type designer, who recently reached 1700 typeface families. Most of his families have two styles, one an oblique. The oblique style makes the family more attractive and is very easy to add.
Getting oblique or italic styles in late January were the DavidFarewell, RundigPencil, and ArgentaBobbed families.
Qwatick, a decorative serifed family, had two weights with a large gap between them. An intermediate weight seemed in order. With the addition of an italics for each weight, the family now has six members.
