Font Services

For the cosmetic giant, [Shiseido], CastleType was commissioned to create two new weights of their proprietary font designed by the world-famous type designer, Adrian Frutiger. Under the exacting supervision of Shiseido's creative director, two new weights were created that complement the Frutiger originals. (Click example at left to enlarge.)

CastleType was commisioned by Publish magazine to digitize several typefaces for their redesign in 1991: Agency Gothic Condensed, Agency Gothic Open, Metropolis Bold, and Trio Light (right). Other magazines that have commissioned fonts from CastleType include: Outside, San Francisco Focus, House & Garden, and Forbes. (Click on example at right to enlarge.)

Whether reproduced in ink, stone, or metal, CastleType fonts look gorgeous! At left is a 4-inch tall, stainless steel 'cake topper' custom designed for [White Crush Wedding]. You might recognize this as Palace Script, but it has been angled far to the left to keep the letters from tipping over on the wedding cake! This job had exacting specs, but the results are stunning!
