Felt Tip Roman began as an experiment in 1989 - a straight adaptation of the designer’s handwriting. The Bold and Heavy weights were added in 2003 to broaden the usefulness of this very popular typeface.Felt Tip Woman is based on the handwriting of graphic designer Patricia Thompson. The name was inspired by a mis-hearing of the name Felt Tip Roman by a colleague.
Felt Tip Senior is based on the handwriting of the father of the designer
