It
is a rare typographic craftsman who is fully at ease
cutting metal typefaces by hand and working the same designs
with Bezier Curves on a Macintosh computer. Jim Rimmer is
this craftsman and more. He has designed typefaces for his
own books that he designs, Illustrates, prints and occasionally
writes himself. P22 is proud to be the exclusive outlet for
Mr. Rimmer's digital fonts. Over 200 digital faces have been
made including the imposing 90 font "Dokument" family.
Digital faces such as Albertan
Oldstyle, Alexander
Quill, Fellowship
and Lancelot
all have metal counterparts which are proprietary fonts found
at Jim's Pie Tree Press in Vancouver. Other faces such as
Zigarre
Script, Poster
Paint, Cotillion
& Amethyst
are designs made exclusively for digital use. Jim Rimmer also
made the digital versions of the Cloister,
Deepdene
& Garamont
fonts for the Lanston
Type Company in addition to being the Lanston Type Director
during its time in Vancouver.
