New Domani font from CounterPoint!

   I am excited to announce a new font from CounterPoint called “Domani”. Domani is a faithful digital revival of an old photo-typositing face called ITC Didi. The original Didi font was designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase.

   I had a lot of fun bringing this font back to life! Up until two months ago I was unaware of the typeface, until it was brought to my attention by Washington DC based designer Rob King. He suggested that it would make a great digital revival and I agreed! I updated the design to include OpenType features as well and adding swash characters. Rob King suggested the name Domani which is the Italian word for ‘tomorrow’. I thought it was perfect for the revitalization of this great typeface! Domani is a didone style font with heavy contrast between the thick and thin strokes.

   Domani is available as an OpenType font in both .ttf and .otf formats. You can get it directly from me or from MyFonts.com. It will also soon be available from Veer.com, Fonts.com, Fontdeck.com and FontHaus.com.
