Monotype Imaging Adds Fonts from Two Foundries to Fonts.com

Fonts.com has added collections from Prime Graphics and BA Graphics – type foundries making their debut on the font shop of Monotype Imaging Inc. The 201 new products can be viewed, purchased and downloaded from www.fonts.com/new.
“Display designs tend to be the fashion setters of typeface design,” said Allan Haley, director of words and letters at Monotype Imaging Inc. “These new collections not only stay in fashion but also may start a few trends of their own.”
The Prime Graphics collection from International TypeFounders Inc. includes numerous display faces and a series of frames, borders and ornament fonts. The Wichita™ typeface is a condensed, handwriting design with strong, upright letterforms. The 140 Prime Graphics products are offered in the PostScript® and TrueType® formats for Microsoft® Windows® systems and in the PostScript format for Macintosh® systems. Prices start at $56.
On his way to forming BA Graphics, Bob Alonso worked with design greats Ed Benguiat and Tony Stan, responsible for such classics as the ITC Bookman® and ITC® Garamond designs. The 70s inspired Elephant Bells™ typeface is a decorative design with swirling flourishes. The 61 BA Graphics products start at $36 and are available in the Postscript and TrueType formats for Macintosh systems and in the TrueType format for Windows platforms.
