Destination Super! (8.10.09) Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to see our fonts in use and we get an even bigger thrill to see them enter popular culture to have a life all their own. Our friends at Super 8 were looking for a new sign that represented value and nothing says value better than our very own Lamplighter Script! Part of the Casino Buffet Font Set, this famous face is now beaming proudly along interstates across the USA at more than 2,100 Super 8s!

Back to School! Let's Give 'em a Hand! (8.4.09)As we were enjoying the last rites of summer getting our lil' diners ready for their return to readin' writin' rythmatic' and all that other good brain food, we found out there were other kiddos in our community who couldn't afford basic required school supplies and we decided to give 'em a hand! If the urge strikes you, drop an e-mail to your local public school principal and find out if they could use some supplies! And don't worry, they can't find your old report cards . . .
