Über die Schriftfamilie Ossuary


Ossuary is a font in which each letter is formed using a uniquely arranged pile of skulls. The font was originally designed to be caps only, but small caps were added for convenience. There is now a character for each typeable letter of the American English keyboard. The font was inspired by images from the Kostnice ossuary in Sedlec, Kutna Hora near Prague. (Google it.) Whether you are fascinated or repulsed, such images have a mystery about them. They demand your attention. That is the feel this font was intended to capture.

Ossuary

Über Wundes

When I say "Wundes foundry" what I mean is 'me'. I am a single designer who's career, (after delivering pizza for a few years) has been made up of layouts for websites, CD covers, and Flash actionscript programming. I did some illustrator scripting for Robbie of the Wilton Foundry, and he told me that if you look at all the work that goes into making a font, you quickly realize that at the prices they are sold for, you're almost giving them away. Being a decent artist and a terrible businessman, I thought, what a great idea, and so here I am. After building my first font, I can say I now understand what he was talking about. Each font, by any designer is, and HAS to have been a labor of love or it would never have been completed. What I look for when creating a font, is a unique way to blend imagery and typography, so the final product becomes a synthesis of symbol and object.
