Font # 10: Cosmopolitan Is Here!

Update #24 · Feb 1, 2013 · comment

This is it everyone! As of 10 minutes ago, we launched Cosmopolitan – our 10th font for Wood Type Revival. This was the last item remaining in our Kickstarter product list. Not surprisingly, it was a longer and more difficult road than we thought. But we made it – and all thanks to you all. We sincerely hope you're all happy with how it turned out.

This is not, however, the end of Wood Type Revival! Rather than portion out our funds across all the varied expenses of our project, we went hog wild and just spent it all on wood type. So there will be many more WTR fonts to come. Just keep your eyes on the website, our Twitter feed, and the WTR blog.

Thanks again for being patient with us over the last year. You all are the best!

Keep on pressing on,

Matt & Matt

WTR Borders and Ornaments Released!

Update #23 · Jan 24, 2013 · comment

Go check out the latest Wood Type Revival release: Borders and Ornaments! Loads of fun decorative elements drawn from original wood type from the WTR collection. 

It's release 9/10 for our Kickstarter project. If you still have credits left, go download it! If not – don't worry. It's only $15, just like all WTR fonts.

Borders and Ornaments represents our favorite decorative wood type elements from the Wood Type Revival Collection. The designs include examples of various styles from multiple continents.

Rugged American borders sit side-by-side with formal European patterns and DeLittle of York’s distinctive floral ornaments. Enigmatic hand-carved work from India and well-machined geometric American shapes both take their rightful place in this varied cluster of decorative designs.

BTW: our 10th font will be released on the WTR store and Typekit very, very soon. Get psyched for WTR Cosmopolitan!

Thanks again for supporting, and keep on pressing on,

Matt & Matt

Wood Type Revival T-shirts available!

Go Get Yourself a WTR T-Shirt!

Wood Type Revival t-shirts are now available for pre-order from United Pixel Workers! Featuring a big beautiful Gothic Open Shaded ampersand on the front, and the WTR logo discreetly placed on the back – these super-comfy American Apparel shirts let you sport some wood type wherever you go.

If the shirt is already part of your backer reward, good news: at the end of the limited-time sale, all shirts will print and we will ship you one in the size you selected.

If you did not back at the t-shirt level, but still want a shirt, please don't delay – they are only available for order until February 10! After that, we print the shirts and ship them. If you haven't put in an order by then you'll have to fork over a load of cash on Ebay or something to get one. :)

Thanks again for all your support!

Keep on pressing on,

Matt & Matt
