The Cholla Sans typeface creation began in 1998. The name is based on a common cactus that grows in the Mojave' Desert. The typeface has varied styles and weights yet retains a unified feel throughout. It recently won an honorable mention in I.D. Magazine and was featured in Eye No. 31.
Mrs. Eaves is named after John Baskerville's wife as a commemoration to the ever poopular Baskerville typeface. The typeface holds many of its predecessors qualties including readibility and open counter spaces. However, Mrs. Eaves relies on sharp contrast and a slightly smaller x-height to attract a reader's eye. The letter shape has been widened to compensate for the thinner stems and hairlines.
Priori is the child of another popular, yet somewhat aged, typeface. Mason, also designed by barnbrook, was no more than a display font. Priori acheives a well designed diplay font, as well as, the capability to reduce to a heading type or something similar. The typeface includes many different alternates, including serif, sans serif, and lower case.
Tribute is the brain child of famous type designer Frank Heine. Heine has released fonts over the years through Emigre' which have become instant successes. Tribute is an inspiration of a photocopy of a type specimen printed around 1565. Tribute brings back the formal elements of Renaissance Antiqua.
Vista Sans was an idea created from seeing many signs in Sumatra which have irregular shaped serifs and maintain a hand-crafted effect. Dupre' was able to integrate many formal elements that allowed the typeface to be used for general application, as well, as, dynamic headings.
