Hi SF friends! We'll be hosting a meetup with Franz Hoffman from Fontself on Monday, July 25 at 6pm. It's somewhat impromptu, but we hope you can join. Please RSVP on the event page.

The PSY/OPS checkout system has been revamped. Woo! Every page on the PSY/OPS website is now secure with HTTPS. We now support multiple payment options, including Amazon Payments.... And, you can now log in with your Facebook account, in order to simplify your checkout.

Delicato Pro, designed by Stefan Hattenbach, is now available at PSY/OPS. https://www.psyops.com/shop/typefaces/delicato-pro/ Delicato integrates unique modern details over a decidedly traditional foundation. The design fulfills Stefan Hattenbach’s goal of creating a sturdy text face for books and longer texts, while not precluding its use in more decorative settings. Stylistically, Delicato tips a respectful hat to Jeremy Tankard’s Enigma and Petr van Blokland’s Proforma. Th...e family includes standard text cuts Regular, Italic, Bold each with full Smallcaps, Ligatures as well as Lining and Oldstyle figures (both Proportional and Tabular). A Medium weight, Alternates and a set of Ornaments further expand the family’s versatility. In 2008, Delicato was expanded to OpenType Pro status, most notably adding full support for Latin-based Central European languages, and that is the edition offered here. See more

Excerpt from the Anziano Specimen Booklet. http://www.psyops.com/shop/typefaces/anziano-pro/

Check it out! Anziano Pro, designed by Stefan Hattenbach, is now available at PSY/OPS. http://www.psyops.com/shop/typefaces/anziano-pro/ Anziano Pro is the third of Stefan Hattenbach’s text typefaces, arriving after (and drawing innate inspiration from) Tarocco and Delicato. More universally, Anziano tips its hat to Emil Rudolph Weiss’ 1926 namesake type, though Anziano is decidedly more Cartesian than calligraphic. Anziano consists of three core styles, Regular, Italic and Bold; each with smallcaps, ornaments, stylistic ligatures, and extended Latin accents. Lining, tabular, oldstyle and smallcap numerals help round out Anziano’s typographic range and function.

Make-ready: Fontbake. Thursday, April 9th, 2015 San Francisco, CA http://aigasf.org/events/2015/04/09/make-ready_fontbake This upcoming Fontbake, part of Adobe’s MakeReady series, will be larger and more structured than PSY/OPS' usual Fontbakes. Participants will join teams and be asked to contribute 34 letter drawings based on several thematic challenges. The PSY/OPS crew will live process the artwork into fonts. An all-star panel of judges, Carolina De Bartolo, Bob Aufuldish and James Edmondson, will then award some funky prizes. Music, food and refreshments will abound; Typekit’s mobile library will be on site; and all attendees will receive copies of the baked fonts. The MakeReady Fontbake promises to be a spirited alphabetic event one you don’t want to miss!

Alphatypoglyphic! Playful New Perspectives on the Alphabet. Thursday, February 5, 2015 Santa Monica , CA http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Is-Just-My-Type-Typogr//... The alphabet does a lot of heavy lifting for us every day, most of it pretty mundane. But it also has a quirky sense of play, and this is something Type Designer Rod Cavazos explores with obsessive delight. Join us for a rare peek at some of the exotic alphabetic concepts, constructs and curiosities he and his team have tinkered up in their San Francisco design office. You’ll have a chance to participate in the quirky sense of play while contributing to the in-session Fontbake, and possibly win a digital goodie bag of typefaces and other fontalicious treats.

The forms are clearly influenced by Victorian style, with an unmistakable French heritage, and yet they somehow convey a decidedly Portuguese sensibility.... Catacumba’s centerpieces are its two titling styles: the exuberant Excelsa, and the didonesque Moderata. Each Catacumba font includes an expanded selection of OpenType ranges and features, allowing for extensive usewithin the Latin range.
