Heroine Typeface by Fountain Type Foundry – Trailer

A promotional trailer for the typeface Heroine by Fountain Type Foundry.
Due to be released on Sept 15, 2009.

Heroine is inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905. Windsor is the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies. A modern interpretation of this rusty pearl is something that always have been missing in the major type libraries. But Heroine is not only an interpretation, it goes beyond that. With the addition of swashes and alternate letters in several styles it becomes very addicitve.

Typeface design: Göran Söderström.
Movie trailer: Fountain.
Music: Harland ” Whitey” Pepper. Courtesy Fontaine Records.

    Hey there….. the typeface Heroine looks good. However, Helvetica is my all time favorite.
