This month’s free font download from Softmaker is Flagstaff. It is a display font that looks like it was inspired by the Op Art style of lettering that was popular in the U.S.  in many photo type houses in the 1960′s and 1970′s.

The Flagstaff font can be downloaded this month for free from http://www.freefont.de/us. It is available in PC TrueType and PostScript Type 1 formats and Macintosh PostScript Type 1 format. This font is very similar to the Glyphic Series originally designed by Richard A. Schlatter in 1972. There is also another font family released in 2002 – Glyphic Neue by Typeco – which is also very similar.
