Felt Tip Roman (1992, 2003) is one of my most popular fonts, and the first font I ever released. It’s my own handwriting carefully digitized by hand (not auto-traced). Handwriting fonts are very common now, but they weren’t in 1989 when I started working on it. I just wanted to see what it would look like, not imagining that other people might want to use it. (Thank you, Mark Solsburg of FontHaus for encouraging me to release it.) I added two more weights, Bold and Heavy, in 2003 to create a more versatile set of fonts.
Mark Simonson Studio is home to a range of typefaces that are as thoughtful and unique as their namesake, Mark Simonson. Each distinctive family of fonts is created as a tool for making things, not ends in themselves. For graphic designers and typographers, this means that each detail included was well-considered and will help your work look its very best. Whether display or text, sans, serif, or script, there is a perfectly suitable typeface that will fulfill every need in your design brief.
