Description

Gloridot is meant for big, solid headlines and titles. The design began with a handful of letters from an unidentified typeface on old magazine cover that Dan Rhatigan was trying to recreate for an issue of his zine, Pink Mince. The grid of dots that formed those few glorious letters at first seemed like a simple system for constructing an alphabet, then grew into a fascinating puzzle as the system expanded into a typeface supporting about 505 languages, plus symbols that can be used to create borders and patterns.

For additional license options like app, enterprise, multi-user, and self-hosted web, visit Gloridot on Type Network.

Bijou Type

Bijou Type is home to typefaces developed by Dan Rhatigan, an experienced typographer whose skills and sensibilities have been honed by years in the type industry working with clients big and small.

After managing type development for years at both Monotype and Adobe, Dan has established Bijou Type for his own work, informed by a decades-long career in various facets of typography. Bijou typefaces are the result of ideas that have simmered for quite a while, fed by Dan’s deep fascination with all things typographic. Inquiries about customization or expansion of the Bijou types are encouraged, as Dan cultivates this collection to meet customers’ needs as well as his own.
