Welcome to Between the Lines: a typographic time capsule from Typodermic Fonts. This is not a catalogue. It’s a storybook, a confession booth, and a design journal rolled into one. Inside, you’ll find the background stories for nearly every font I’ve ever released: the inspiration, the weird detours, the updates, and sometimes, the reasons a font quietly disappeared. It’s a candid look at the creative process behind hundreds of typefaces…some well-known, some forgotten, and a few that never should’ve seen the light of day.
The book is primarily written for fellow designers, typographers, licensing sleuths, and anyone curious about how fonts actually come to life. No font previews. No marketing fluff. Just stories.
The latest edition from 2025-07-05 adds two new fonts, Dividente and Caldstone
