Powerful book design font groups are rare

For the holidays, I set up a 64% Off sale for one of my powerful book design font groups on MyFonts. This includes the font families of Librum, Librum E, Librum Sans, Bookish, Bream, and Bulkr. So, instead of the normal $25 a font/$75 a family, all the individual fonts and families in the Librum Book Design Group are available for $9 per font/$27 per family or less through February 3, 2018.

These fonts have proven to be exceptional for the formatting of books—especially complex non-fiction with multiple lists, complex head-subhead structures, tables, and so on. You can find some samples of this formatting here.

In my daily life, writing and formatting books, the Librum group has been a delight to use. Much of that, of course, comes from the way it fits my personal tastes in typography. However, you’ll discover that the design freedom provided by a group of fonts with the same vertical metrics will be a great help in your designs. Such groups are hard to find.

Of course, there’s always an exception: Bulkr

The only thing missing from the group was a strong display font. I built Bulkr from Librum Sans bold, but it soon developed a life of its own. I wanted a font which worked as well Impact with softer shapes (whatever that means). This meant radically different font metrics, of course. As the newest font in the group, I have less experience with it. But, its intended use in cover design matches my expectations. I believe you’ll find it useful.
