Real fonts from real type designers

Ascender worked with leading type designers and foundries to assemble a set
of fonts that normally sell for over $500 if purchased separately. Fonts
were carefully selected to provide an extensive range of designs which will
help reinforce the message of many types of documents. Designer and font
foundry participants included Gunnlauger SE Briem, Chank, Elsner + Flake,
The Font Bureau, Steve Matteson, Steve Mehallo, Microsoft, Thomas Rickner
and Mark Simonson. Each of the fonts had to meet Ascender’s exacting
quality standards. These fonts are far and above the quality of shareware
or jumbo-package fonts, including 384 characters for extensive European
language coverage.

More than just fonts

The Ascender Creativity Font Pack also includes a variety of helpful design
tools to put the fonts into action:

+ There are over 40 smart-looking templates for Microsoft Word that are
ready to be personalized. They cover a diverse range of activities: cards,
invitations, stationery, certificates, flyers, scrapbooks, calendars and
more for personal and business tasks.

+ The Ascender Font Selector is a new utility for selecting the right font
for the right situation. It allows users to browse through font previews
organized by personality, occasion and type classification.

illustrated design guide with a baker’s dozen tips and tricks from Roger C.
Parker, author of 35 books on desktop publishing, design and marketing.
