Step Right Up!! (5.5.08)We're often asked what we're busy working on when we're not making Font Diner fonts and you'll be surprised to learn that actually we're busy making other people's fonts! A few years ago, we found that there were many talented lettering artists who could draw beautiful letters but didn't have the time or knowledge to learn how to turn them into fonts!
There was such an amazing variety of styles and folks that we decided to start Sideshow, an offshoot boutique type foundry dedicated to releasing new exclusive display typefaces and collaborative type designs with talented lettering artists the world over. We are busy adding new fonts every month we're sure you'll love! Check 'em out here!

The Mouse, The Motorcycle, and the Font! (5.5.08) There is nothing more transcending than to see an image of popular culture from our youth become a new image in the minds of our children and while it would be enough for them to enjoy the same image, it becomes transcending when our work becomes integrated into it and we become a part to that image!
Beverly Cleary's world-famous Ralph S. Mouse book series was among our first real chapter book as a kiddo and they have been updated and redesigned for todays young readers but now feature our very own Stovetop font as the title of this amazing collection! We couldn't be more humbled or honored to be a part of Ms. Cleary's work and if you haven't read any of these books, now is a great time to start!

Now Open! Type That Is! (5.1.08)As operating systems and design applications continue to be updated, the need for rock solid fonts that support these updated systems go hand-in-hand. Finally after years of requests, the Font Diner is happy to heed that call and has updated our entire font library to include the OpenType font format!
When you purchase any font or font set from us, you'll receive the platform specific versions of the fonts in Postscript, TrueType and OpenType format! And in case you're wondering, while we've updated the technical aspects of the fonts, no new features have been added to them.

Meet Alice at the Zanzibar! (3.14.08)We're pleased to announce the re-release of two breathtaking scripts from the Filmotype Font Library. These hidden gems from the early 1950s have been meticulously redrawn from the original font filmstrips and have been expanded to include a full international character compliment, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a host of alternate characters in dynamic OpenType format.
Filmotype Alice marks the beginnings of the casual handwritten script aesthetic. Introduced by Filmotype in the late 1950s, it perfectly captures the mid-century playfulness of hand lettering while providing comfortable readability.
Strikingly poised and almost as exotic as it sounds, Filmotype Zanzibar is among Filmotype's most amazing and beautiful formal scripts released. You can purchase, preview and discover more about these faces online exclusivly at Font Bros!
