Old Bitmap Fonts.

I made these fonts around 1985-86, when a pixel was worth something. The earliest ones were created with Apple's basic but buggy Font Editor tool. As soon as it was available, I moved to Altsys' Fontastic. I stopped making them when it became possible to create real typefaces with the releaase of Fontastic's younger sibling, Fontographer.

Bitmap fonts have become popular again and many of these will be available in the near future as outline fonts for use in Flash and other on-screen applications.

I am no longer offering these in their original Mac bitmap format as a free download. (Sorry.)

Oldstyle No. 1 9, 10, 12, 14, 18, 20, 24 & Oldstyle Italic 12, 24. My most ambitious effort: to create an entire type family. It's an old style in the Venetian tradition, but a bit undisciplined. I got most of the roman finished but ran out of steam creating the italic and bold (not shown). I must have seen the article about the new LaserWriter in MacWorld just about then.
