Sample showing characters from the Shortcuts fontThe Shortcuts font was designed to solve the problem of how to show keyboard shortcuts in a book. Steve Caplin, the author of the book (How to Cheat in Photoshop, Focal Press, ISBN 0240517024), designed the font with Keith Martin, who also put it together. The Shortcuts font is made available here under the 'Schoolware' system. If you find it useful in any way, donate some time, money or equipment - preferably Macintosh-related - to a local school. Any amount will do! This font may be used for any creative work, but it may NOT be redistributed except on an individual level. Mass-distribution of any kind must be authorised beforehand.

Sample showing some of the Orchis typeface character setThe Speciality font collection is made up of unusual headline-oriented typeface designs. Some are designed as modern 'bitmap' equivalents to be used at specific sizes for best effect, while others are simply quirky headline-friendly typeface creations. Browse the different typeface collections, download the collections you like, and see which ones might fit in with your design work.
