Type should be functional. It should have personality. It is one of the most powerful elements in the design kingdom.
My earliest inclination to design type came from working with it every day, up close and personal in a type studio in Phildelphia. The letterforms were beautiful, fascinating and stimulating. I spent several years there setting photo-lettering for advertising design and learned from art directors and experienced typographers how to use this crucial design element.
Most of my designs started as hand-lettering for other causes, and the ones that had potential became some of the font families you see here.
Type design is truly a labor of love; only in rare cases can you ever hope to recoup financially the amount of time spent in the initial design process, in endless revisions, and spacing and kerning…but every little bit helps. Buy some fonts!

A tribute to Oswald Cooper, designer of the ever-popular Cooper Black, the Nevia type family is available in all formats including Open Type and comes in two weights with italic companions, small caps, old-style figures, alternate glyphs, an assortment of standard and archaic ligatures, original ornaments and will accommodate mulitple languages. It was orginially licensed to Bitstream and is available at MyFonts.com.
JEEVES is inspired by the wit and wisdom of a "gentleman's personal gentleman" in the employ of Bertie Wooster from the hilarious writing of P.G. Wodehouse. As Jeeves was always able to extricate Bertie from a tight social spot, Jeeves can also help you out of a tight design spot with its generous collection of elegant alternate glyphs and ligatures in Jeeves Light and Jeeves Bold. Many thanks to Steve Jackaman and Ashley Muir at HouseofType for their help and expertise in production. Jeeves is available at Veer.com. 
Originally designed by John Langdon as a titling font for the movie "The DaVinci Code", I was called on to create a companion font to be used for the credit crawl for the movie. Unfortunately, neither was used due to time constraints, but Flexion was honored as one of the best new type designs of 2006 by the Type Directors Club of New York's annual competition. Flexion is possibly the only symmetrical type design currently available. In keeping with John's well-know propensity for ambigrams, many of the characters are mirrored to become other characters; the B is a reversed E, the C is reversed to become a D, G is a mirrored P, the K is a reversed N, and so on. Flexion comes in four weights and is available at Veer.com
ITC Stepp is an update in style from the Art Deco era and has been featured in National Typographic magazine, a publication of Monotype Imaging, Inc. It is available in four weights ranging from Light to Ultra Bold. All four weights feature companion italics and the lightest three also offer a suite of small caps included with the OpenType fonts. It is available at Fonts.com and many other popular font resources.
ITC Outpost is a nod to Middle East/Eastern calligraphic letterforms. It came to me in a mysterious moment of quite solitude. I can reveal no more. ITC Outpost is offered in Roman and Italic with lots of alternate characters. It is available at Fonts.com and many other font resources.TT (Type Trivia) - In 2006, ITC asked me to design a submission of Outpost for the Type Directors Club of New York's annual Type Design competition. By an odd twist of fate, Flexion Pro won out!
Wells Grotesque grew from hand-lettered titling that I designed for the Townsend Press edition of The War of the Worlds. You can see the original cover design in the slide show on my Illustration page. This sturdy font family features three weights with companion small caps and enough accented and special glyphs to support over 130 languages. It has recently been released and is available at MyFonts.com
Loosely based on an early type design by Frederick Goudy, Titian is an attempt to bring elegance and refinement to a mono-weight "Printer's Gothic". Titian is currently in production, but when released will feature Light, Book, and Bold weights in normal and condensed proportions with companion small caps and true italics. It will naturally be user friendly in multiple languages.
