P22 and the Lanston Type Company released Circled Caps Set for $29.95.
This handy font allows designers of commercial products to add basic circled letters that are uniform in appearance. For example, on music CDs, the Copyright and Publish (AKA Phonogram) symbols often do not match. While most fonts include a circled ‘c’ for Copyright, they seldom contain a circle ‘p’ for Publish (note that all P22 fonts include the circle ‘p’ and ‘c’). The circle ‘U’ and ‘K’ for Kosher foods are rarely included in fonts and have to be made as needed.
This single font contains both a serif and sans serif style caps A-Z, as well as figures assigned to regular keys and also mapped to standard Unicode for “Enclosed Alphanumerics”.
