Buffalo, NY- October 1st, 2008

P22 and the International House of Fonts proudly announce P22 Counter- a
new typeface designed by Canada Type’s Patrick Griffin for P22’s IHOF
collection.

Designed by Canada Type principal Patrick Griffin, P22 Counter is a very
geometric font based on parallel strokes. The Cursive and Swash Alts styles
were based on the idea for an uncredited film face called Whitley,
published by a little known English typesetting house in the early 1970s.
Line & Hack are extrapolations of the above.

Single styles are offered in basic OpenType with linguistic support for
Central and Eastern European, Turkish, Baltic, Celtic/Welsh and Esperanto
character sets.

Counter Cursive Pro combines Cursive & Swash Alts.
