Ephemera Fonts was set up in 2020 by experienced type designers Gilang Purnama Jaya and Ilham Herry, with the goal of creating vintage digital fonts. In 2020, they co-designed the vintage (Victorian) sign painting font families Ephemera Fascia (layered, by Ilham Herry) and Ephemera Sickles. They write: Ephemera Sickles is a ornamented letterhead style typeface-inspired by the Victorian era (1800-1900) and this style was commonly used by engrossers at the turn of the century to embellish official documents, such as diplomas and other certificates. The style is named after Charles Sickels, who headed the art department of Electro-Light Engraving Co. in New York City during the early 20th century. In 2020, Ilham Herry designed Ephemera Egyptian, which, despite its name, is a block lettering sans. Typefaces from 2021: EFCO Brookshire (a Victorian all caps serif), EFCO Overhold (vintage signage; all caps), Ephemera Nickson (a heavy vintage typeface), Ephemera Shoemakers (a spurred font). Typefaces from 2022: EFCO Songster (Victorian), EFCO Fairley (a smorgasbord of eleven vintage fonts). |
