As promised here’s the third in our Optima trilogy: Optima Bold, 12 point. The Italic is still available at present, and there has been enough demand for the Optima Medium to warrant a second casting. One more day of production will complete that and it will move to the finishing and packing stage; the product listing will show it as back in stock sometime this month and it will be formally announced in our April news release. When it’s ready to go we’ll drop a note to those who specifically requested it.
We’ve been pushing to build up our line of Q&S to meet strong demand. Newly added is Quads & Spacing in 14pt. Sizes 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 are all restocked with only 48pt still in the queue. Also offered (with varying availability, it’s in demand too) are packages of used Q&S in sizes 6 through 72. More restocks completed in February: Spire 48pt, Ben Franklin Initials, and Border No. 1301.
