Metallophile Sp8 was developed by Mark Simonson and published by Mark Simonson. Metallophile Sp8 includes 4 styles and family package choices. p > Metallophile Sp8 is a loyal facsimile of an 8 point sans serif typeface as set on a 1940s vintage hot metal typesetting machine and printed on coated paper stock. Although the letterforms are carefully based upon Futura, the result is extremely different from its contemporary cousins, which are drawn more strictly, and use only one style for all sizes.
