Hi

My name is Doug Olena. My wife and I have a Desktop Publishing company in Barton Vermont called Keystrokes.

My interest in fonts goes back to some work I did on our Mac Plus in 1987 that I sold to UpTime Disk Magazine. I craved some fair market to develop software for and found I had too little talent programming. Typefaces always fascinated me and I decided to test the waters with a PostScript typeface called Dana Line. I sold it to DiskWorld Magazine for a fair return on my expenditures and decided that I needed to find some typeface artwork unavailable in electronic form. I believe I found an excellent collection of Alphabets of the Art Deco Tradition, called "Book of Art Deco Alphabets" published by Sterling/Main Street Press.

The whole collection I have developed contains most of the alphabets in that book and many additional styles that are straightforwardly derivative from them. There are (at the moment) 52 typefaces included in the package called "Fonts For Design Art Deco Collection".

This disk contains both TrueType and Adobe Type 1 versions of the UC alphabet I named Arwen after my first daughter. (There is an alphabet called EDEN in the book and Eden is my second daughter's name. Arwen was jealous that Eden had an alphabet named after her, so...)

It is a fine example of the Art Deco Tradition. The clean lines and delicate symmetrical balance of the parts make for rich and interesting layouts.

The disk label (not included in the downloadable version) is done in Marquis, another of the collection.

The collection costs $95, comes with the "Book of Art Deco Alphabets"and your choice of Type 1 or TrueType versions for the Mac or PC. Without the "Book of Art Deco Alphabets", the collection costs $87.

Feel free to distribute this software (Arwen Font in either or both formats) as long as the FFD_Read.ME! document is included. The collection is commercial software and is available now in the formats specified. If you like Arwen and use it call me at:

802-525-8837

If you want to order the package, send a check or money order to "Keystrokes" for the package and $2.50 for shipping and handling (in US Dollars or its equivalent) to:
