About ArtyType

ArtyType is James Marsh’s font foundry and the publishing vehicle for his distinctive typographic designs. ArtyType fonts are unique, occasionally experimental, but always very usable. Hence they're never generic or boring!

While studying design James acquired an enduring affinity with typography; so designing fonts has been a dormant ambition from the ’60’s.  Incorporating his own fonts into design projects has also been a strong motivating factor, after eventually founding ArtyType in 2010.

The library features dozens of eye-catching families, including versatile modern text faces, colourful scripts and cutting-edge headline fonts. This growing collection of hand-tuned and versatile fonts provides fantastic design options for any print or web project. Moreover the range of weights and font styles offers designers real choice. Type lovers will appreciate goodies such as extended European language support, OpenType features and alternate glyphs. And, most importantly, ArtyType fonts are very competitively priced, thus great value for money.

All fonts are available in desktop and web formats for immediate download. In addition you can take each typeface for a test drive and download a PDF specimen before buying.
