P22 (type foundry)

The P22 Type Foundry retail font collection specializes in historical letterforms inspired by art, history, and science[2] that otherwise have never been available previously in digital form.

P22 works with museums and foundations to ensure the development of accurate historical typefaces,[1] and with private clients to create custom bespoke fonts.

Because Jim Rimmer is a Canadian national artistic treasure, the digital holdings of this division were repatriated to Patrick Griffin of Canada Type in 2012.

[11] P22 produced a documentary film in 2011 called Making Faces, to document the process of book artist Jim Rimmer as he developed a traditional metal font, from concept drawing through to casting in lead.

[1] P22 has also published Savage Impressions, a comprehensive book on the work of artist and letterpress-printer Bruce Licher and his Independent Project Records & Press.

Originally started to promote and publish local Buffalo, NY bands, they have gone on to produce nineteen releases, including reissues of Rod McKuen records, a techno band called The William Caslon Experience, and the latest release is a vinyl LP of Bruce Licher's demos called Tape Excavation to accompany the Savage Impressions book.
