The Scriptorium got its start in the early days of personal computers with a few font designs for the Commodore 64, and the very first font which we did back then in the early 1980s was a gothic calligraphy font. That style of fonts - the medieval, gothic and black letter genre - has always been the backbone of our collection, but with recent releases we've stayed away from them to introduce a bit more variety. Well, with our new Zauberer font the antique, medieval and gothic look is back with a vengeance. Zauberer isn't a true medieval calligraphy style. It's based on early printed type from Germany which combines calligraphic elements with decorative embellishments from the woodcut printing era. The result is decorative and antique looking and rather appealing. The name comes from the German word for a magician or illusionist.

Bague Sans is an award-winning monoline typeface with a distinct and eye-catching personality. Despite its inspiration from early 20th century geometrics, it diverts from the mechanical rigidity of those typefaces by incorporating humanist characteristics, such as subtle variations in stroke width and open counter shapes with vertical endings. This is a very clean and legible typeface with a warm and well-balanced texture which is ideal for intense editorial use in magazines and newspapers. The most remarkable feature of Bague Sans is its vast array of uppercase alternates and ligatures which truly shine when set at display sizes. This typeface is automatically transformed into a flexible, charming and stylish typeface with strong modern aesthetics. Explore its dual personality, switch from Humanist to Geometric and vice versa by using alternate characters such as the single-storey a and single-storey g. From classic to modern, from excessive to neutral, Bague Sans is a multipurpose typeface which offers enormous possibilities and variations for editorial design, branding and corporate identity while it performs amazingly well on web. This superfamily includes 18 weights from Hairline to Ultra Black with a consistent and well-refined structure. It supports extended Latin such as Central European, Baltic, Turkish, Romanian and includes numerous alternates and ligatures for unlimited text variations. You may also want to check out Bague Sans Pro which supports Cyrillic and Greek as well.
