The foundry that shaped American type finally has a new home online.

The ATF® Collection revisits the classic typefaces of the American Type Founders Company, digitized and extended by Mark van Bronkhorst. His new interpretations offer more weights and widths, larger character sets, and the typographic features digital fonts make possible.

Adrian Kimball of Workhorse Type Foundry designed the new site and developed it with Scott Kellum, TTF’s Design Director.

Kellarie is here — a friendly, speedball-inspired script from Laura Worthington Design. Smooth, monolinear strokes and softly rounded terminals give it the easy-reading momentum of confident hand lettering, while sweeping capitals and curling flourishes bring the warmth of sign painting to packaging, branding, book covers, and magazine layouts.

Available in Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold, with plenty of alternates for adding character right where you want it.
