This book contains what is considered to be the earliest printed examples of Chancery Cursive. P22 Operina ( 2003, in Romano, Corsivo and Fiore versions) is based on Vicentino Ludovico degli Arrighi's calligraphy used in his 1522 instructional lettering book La Operina da Imparare di scrivere littera Cancellarescha.Zaftig (2008, Typeco) is a super-fat face.Trapper (2004) is an 8-weight exaggerated ink trap font family which comes in Trapper Round and Trapper Sharp versions.Cusp ( 2001-2005): a techno display family with 18 weights, including an LED style, art deco styles and Cusp De Stijl.There are also techno variant called Superduty Condensed, Superduty Regular, Superduty Narrow and Superduty Text.
