Spring has Sprung! The Fling has Flung and all that will be left after the inevitable Split is a fluttering in your heart, a blushful remembrance of lost love, an aching heart full of excitement and a strange sense of regret.

KD Hachure is a display, geometric font with layering possibilities. Combine the two layers to achieve different color combinations or use them separately to achieve a completely different look.

Kerning is optimized so that all latin letters are connected. With the default leading 120%, descenders connect with the top of accents. Set the leading to 100% manually if you want to connect descenders with the top of uppercase or ascender letters.

K-Types Banks & Miles fonts are inspired by the geometric monoline lettering created for the British Post Office in 1970 by London design company Banks & Miles, a project initiated and supervised by partner John Miles, and which included Double Line and Single Line alphabets.

The new digital typeface is a reworking and extension of both alphabets. Banks & Miles Double Line is provided in three weights Light, Regular and Dark variations achieved by adjusting the width of the inline.

More Banks & Miles Single Line develops the less used companion sans into a three weight family Regular, Medium and Bold each with an optically corrected oblique.

Although the Banks & Miles Double Line and Banks & Miles Single Line fonts are based on the original Post Office letterforms, glyphs have been drawn from scratch and include numerous adjustments and impertinent alterations, such as narrowing the overly wide Z and shortening the leg of the K.

Several disparities exist between the Post Office Double and Single Line styles, and K-Type has attempted to secure greater consistency between the two.

For instance, a wide apex on the Double Lines lowercase w is made pointed to match the uppercase W and the Single Lines W/w.

Also, the gently sloping hook of Single Lines lowercase j is adopted for both families.

The original Single Lines R and k, which were incongruously simplified, are drawn in their more remarkable Double Line forms, and whilst the new Single Line fonts are modestly condensed where appropriate, rounded letters retain the essentially circular form of the Double Line.

Many characters that were not part of the original project, such as @, ß, #, and currency symbols, have been designed afresh, and a full set of Latin Extended-A characters is included.

The new fonts are a celebration of distinctive features like the delightful teardrop-shaped bowl of a,b,d,g,p and q, and a general level of elegance not always achieved by inline typefaces.

The Post Office Double Line alphabet was used from the early 1970s, in different colours to denote the various parts of the Post Office business which included telecommunications, counter services and the Royal Mail.

Even after the Post Office was split into separate businesses in the 1980s, Post Office Counters and Royal Mail continued use of the lettering, and a version can still be seen within the Royal Mail cruciform logo.

The 52 characters assembled by this Gothic font, Prince of Darkness, were once interred in coffins onboard the Russian cargo ship Demeter, when it set sail for the sleepy shores of Whitby, Northern England ages ago.

Hunted down by Vampire Hunters for century after century, this noble Transylvanian set has hidden for years in England and Eastern Europe.

Now, Prince of Darkness is available as a font with more Layers than Dracula has Lairs.
