Checker is an all-caps, '3-D’ font which automatically alternates white letters on black tiles with black letters on white tiles, by means of the contextual alternates feature in applications supporting advanced OpenType features, such as Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.
An attention grabber suitable for logos, titles and short headings, with its tiled construction Checker is a natural choice for colorful interpretation. The letters are properly italicized and back-slanted, and adjusted for maximum readability within the constraints of the font’s concept. The letter style is bold grotesque, so Checker will mix smoothly with other fonts within your layout.About the designer:
Nick Shinn has designed over 20 type families for a variety of publishers since 1980. In 1999 he went into the font business full time, launching Shinntype to publish and market his fonts worldwide.
Shinn’s eclectic type designs run the gamut from revivals to experimental work exploiting new technology, and are used in everything from packaging and advertising to internet, book, magazine, and newspaper publishing around the world. In 2001 he was commissioned to design the Richler commemorative typeface. He is currently developing a suite of typefaces for international use, with Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets.
Shinn has written for magazines including Applied Arts, Druk, Eye, Graphic Exchange, and Typographic, has spoken at the ATypI, TypeCon and Graphika conferences, and taught at Seneca College and York University in Toronto. From 2002 to 2006 he served as a board member of the Society of Typographic Aficionados (SoTA), which puts on the international conference TypeCon every year, and brought it to Toronto in 2002.
