Welcome to the 2015 Designer Type Catalogue. I have over 30 years of experience as a calligrapher, and I am now sharing my Designer Type with the world. I'm not a typographer and these aren't fonts. Designer Type are collections of hand-inked, decorative, authentic calligraphy and lettering. Do you remember Letraset ™? Remember those plastic sheets where you rubbed the letters onto your layouts? Those were so cool! Designer Type is like Letraset but fully digital and you never run out of letters. Designer Type is easy to use and allows for complete control over color, and unlimited digital effects for print quality results. You can create headlines, graphic designs or complete poetry/scripture. Each Designer Type collection was authentically hand inked by me, Steve Czajka. Designer Type is available for all of your commercial projects as licensed typefaces. I believe in the open source and creative commons movements. In the spirit this I have decided to offer some Designer Type collections completely FREE of charge, as creative commons and even public domain. All this is available via digital download. And NO messy software plugins or extensions to install, just drag and drop to begin designing with Designer Type. It is literally that easy!
Cheers Steve
