Jezebel FontCategory: Font foundries and collections The Jezebel design was extrapolated from two early 70s film ideas called Hampshire and Harper's Bazaar. Both were uncredited, somewhat badly drawn, almost impossible to typeset satisfactorily, and very limited in character set. It was necessary to go back to the drawing book to explore a better balance and easier setting potential. The subsequent character set expansion took Jezebel to a much superior level of functionality, with the addition of multiple alternates and swashes to fit a perfectionist's eye.

Adobe InDesign CS2Category: Design and Illustration software When Adobe first introduced InDesign a few short years ago, analysts and professional designers expressed skepticism that the software would make any significant inroads into a market that had long been ruled by a few well-entrenched and respected programs.

What was thought to be a pipe dream just yesterday--Adobe InDesign being considered as the standard software package for professional publishers and designers--is today on the verge of becoming a reality. Book, magazine and high-end publishers and designers of all types are making the switch to Adobe InDesign. A glance at the new features that InDesign CS2 brings to the table makes it easy to see why.
