Blackstone

Dragons, magic, the Middle Ages, and all that is gothic was the inspiration for this design. I originally inked all of the characters by hand and submitted the full set to the the 1988 Chartpak Typeface Design Competition and actually won the contest along with 10 other winners. Blackstone was reproduced as Chartpak's "Designer Series" tranfer lettering sheets (anyone remeber those?). I spent a few months digitizing the originals and the font is now available in Postscript and TrueType with additional characters and dingbats. Blackstone also has a number of interesting alternate characters. Check out the 2004 addition to the family: Blackstone X.
