ITC flogging 1,500-font collection
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
September 19th 2002
With 30-plus years of experience, the company is one of the premier providers of
typefaces
ITC has announced the October availability of a 1,579-font library, the ITC 1500
Library. The library spans the company''s three-plus decades of design and is the only
complete ITC library product on the market. The collection contains 245 more fonts
than ITC''s previous library and over 650 of the fonts are not available from any
other source.
Customers will find a blend of popular ITC typefaces, old and new. Among the designs
are the classic text faces ITC Avant Garde Gothic, ITC Franklin Gothic and ITC
Berkeley Old Style. The library also includes a variety of designs that have emerged
in recent years such as ITC Officina and the revamped ITC Conduit family, featuring 29
fonts added this year. A large collection of new styles are marking their debut,
including ITC Tabula, designed to be highly legible; ITC Oldrichium, inspired by the
calligraphic designs of Czech designer Oldrich Menhart; ITC Batak, motivated by the
isolated Southeast Asian Batak culture of Samosir island; ITC Tickle, designed in the
likeness of letters from a Sharpie marker; ITC Cinderella, inspired by children''s
play; and ITC Jeepers, a winner from this year''s annual international type design
competition held by the Type Directors Club of New York City.
"When I began working for ITC in the early 1980s, the library was made up of about 300
typefaces," said Allan Haley, director of words and letters. "As we announce the ITC
1500 Library with over 1,500 fonts, our designs are still being chosen by a review
board of typographic experts and are still being drawn by world-class designers. ITC
continues to release fonts using the same high standards for quality and design."
The ITC 1500 Library, scheduled for shipment in late October as a single CD-ROM of
unlocked typefaces, includes both Postscript and TrueType formats for Macintosh. The
product includes licensing for 20 users and is available at an introductory price of
$4,999 through January 2003 -- a savings of $1,000 off the suggested retail price.
Editor''s note: It would seem to me there should be some form of upgrade pricing.
