If you’ve been following our forthcoming release previews, you’ll remember that Adantine was conceived as an ‘all-capitals’ face.

Adantine owes some inspiration to the type of hand lettered captions sometimes seen on Victorian postcards.
We’re hoping to release Adantine as a family early in the new year. Meanwhile, here’s a suitably seasonal preview of the two faces completed to dat in action-Adantine Regular and Adantine Capitals. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger ‘pdf’ sample:
