Over six months in the making, this font is in the final stages of its OpenType encoding (which has been entrusted to master fontmeister Patrick Griffin of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadatype.com\" target=\"_blank\">Canada Type<\/a>). Done in the same spirit as Metroscript, and unlike many &#8220;vintage&#8221; fonts currently in release, this is not a rehash of an historic font design or showcard lettering that had been unearthed, but a completely new creation. It does have something of the look and feel of a vintage style, but is also fresh and contemporary.
