About me

Introduction Parachute® landed in 1999, but it wasn’t till 2001 that it started operating as a full-scale type foundry. By then several designers had joined in to form a select group of open-minded, free-spirited individuals/friends. Graphic designers, illustrators, educators, typographers, with fresh ideas and a strong desire to design sophisticated typefaces which reflect current cultures and trends. The year 2003 marked the beginning of a new era for Parachute® with the release of a major 200-page catalog, which contained Greek and Latin typeface specimen. This catalog/book included several classic revivals of historical importance, as well as many original font designs. Since then an emphasis was placed on multilingual support and OpenType® technology. 'Archive Pro', an award winning typeface, was first released in 2004. Obsessed with type? Yes, we are!!
