Three Rising
Stars Every month we add new, innovative fonts and sign up new foundries. In this 25th issue of Rising Stars, we want to show you three of our top-selling new fonts. The Treasury System is a set of fonts that takes advantage of the most commonly used feature of today’s design software: layering. The PDFs and images in the MyFonts gallery show you some of the possibilities Treasury has to offer, from simple attractive elegance expressed in the main script, all the way to mysteriously magnificent calligraphic plates! 
For many centuries, Chinese cut paper designs have been in common use. Floral Ornaments was inspired by these floral cut paper designs and includes a selection of 114 beautifully designed ornaments.  dearJoe 4 is one of four handwritten scripts from JOEBOB graphics — but the first with connecting characters, so it looks like real handwriting.  |

“I'm deleting all my other bookmarks — this is the best font website I’ve experienced. You can’t beat the functionality — the ease of locating and view[ing] fonts. My favorite was being able to scroll through various fonts in the text of your choice. What a powerful tool. Great Design! I'm a happy ‘purchasing’ customer.”
