ABOUT

Patty King

Californian who claimed to be influenced by the impressionists. She designed ITC Kick (1995, brushy lettering), ITC Skylark (1995), ITC Bette (script, 2002), ITC Spirit (1995), Montana (1996) and ITC Blaze (1995).

Patty King died in 2002, just after submitting ITC Bette. She used to sell her fonts here. Check ITC's Women in Type. ITC wrote: Known to her friends as Patty and her family as Trisha, King grew up in northern California. Though she displayed artistic inclinations at an early age, it wasn't until her mid-twenties that she decided to pursue her talent and returned to college to study graphic design. Patty gravitated easily to calligraphy, lettering, and then typeface design. Over the succeeding years, a diverse list of clients commissioned her services. Sadly, this is the last typeface design ITC will license from Patty King. She succumbed to a prolonged illness just prior to completing the design. At her request, all royalties from the sale of this---and all her other ITC fonts---will be donated to the charity she identified before her passing.
