Patrick Giasson took his Royal Family off the market. :(

That’s a great face. Any idea why Stephen?

I thought as much. Thanks Stephen!

Custom face.

similar to Fraktendon

hmm Fraktendon seems rather awkward to me, the serifs and blackletter flourishes seem to fight for attention while in the above sans version it has a nicer flow to it.

The caps in Fraktendon is very awkward in my opinion, but I rather enjoy most of the lowercase characters.

Custom face.

No André, this is The Royal Family by Patrick Giasson. I was quite sad to see it disappear as well.

Yes, it is (minus the initial S) Royal Family by Patrick Giasson, originally published by Thirstype some time in the mid-late 90s.

Patrick asked that the collection be taken off the market a few years ago, and we complied with his wishes. I cannot speak to the reasons for his decision, and perhaps he will post in this thread to discuss this choice.

PS: here’s another “de-published” Thirstype font on an album cover: “Hate Note Regular” is used to set “the road and the radio”.

What is the intial cap S in “Styles” from? That would be interesting to know!

Kris.

Looks like an Old English Text cap S from my Speedball Textbook, but again..customized a bit.
