It’s a typeface for creating circled numbers, popular for use in web graphics, instructional material, maps, signs and CD labels, for example. With CombiNumerals, you can create any number between 0 and 99, as well as several other useful symbols (arrows, pointers, hands, etc.). A guide book in PDF format demonstrating how to use the font is included in the download. CombiNumerals is available in two weights — Open and Solid.

ATF Antique was first released by the Barnhardth Bros. & Spindler type foundry in 1842. It was designed for sign cutting, and saw much use throughout the latter 19th century.

Particularly note the uppercase A and Q, which are beautiful in the italic. You’ll also notice that Goudy Sans has very slight hints of serifs on most of its stems. Like the other Humanists, Goudy Sans’ italics are true italics, and not simply obliqued versions of the roman letters.

I created this font, in part, because I needed it for a project, but also because I noticed other vendors were selling similar flag fonts in an attempt to capitalize on recent events (I mean, c'mawn...). Some are offering fonts for sale and donating the proceeds to charity, and I wholeheartedly support their efforts, but to those whose aim is to profit from the recent surge in patriotism and renewal of American pride and spirit, well, I guess I have a problem with that.

It belongs to everyone, and anyone who wants to display it can, and should, without concern for trademarks, copyrights, digital rights, etc.
