Being bold is serious business! But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun doing it. Presenting Gertie! It’s part of a display series designed by Mark Simonson and released under the theme of extra bold/fat/ultra display faces—one serif, one script, one sans. Gertie is an all-caps spur-serif design inspired by the lettering of comic artist Winsor McCay. With an early 20th-century feel, this ultra-bold design is made to be stacked tight. It’s just the ticket for branding, advertising, posters, book covers, and packaging. License Gertie today at bit.ly/gertie and fearlessly spruce up your work!

Sometimes you want a typeface that is so bold, it’s like, how much more bold could it be? Enter Madcap! It’s part of a display series designed by Mark Simonson and released under the theme of extra bold/fat/ultra display faces—one sans, one script, one serif. Madcap is an all-caps sans serif rooted in a style of lettering that Mark frequently used during high school in the early seventies. It’s a playfully eye-grabbing design that will get your branding, advertising, posters, book covers, and packaging noticed. License Madcap today at bit.ly/mss-madcap and crank up your design to 11!

Want to skip the main course and go straight to dessert?! Try Cheesecake! It’s part of a display series designed by Mark Simonson and released under the theme of extra bold/fat/ultra display faces—one script, one sans, one serif. Cheesecake is a charismatic, ultra-bold script inspired by the lettering of the sixties and seventies. Mark Simonson found himself compulsively drawing these bodacious curves during his work on Dreamboat. Think of it as an in-your-face caricature of the script that will add oomph to your branding, advertising, posters, book covers, and packaging.  License Cheesecake today at bit.ly/mss-cheesecake and grab your audience’s attention!
