ABOUT







Maury McCown Foundry (was: Railhead Design) [Maury McCown]

Maury and Karen McCown from Bedford, TX, met at Howard Payne University and ran a nice small type foundry. Born and raised in Texas, Maury has been making fonts since 1992, but stopped at some point stating I am no longer making fonts, and I don't want any "font advertisement". Nevertheless, in 2010, Maury went commercial as Maury McCown Foundry. Karen McCown (1976-2014) died in a motorcycle accident in Cambodia.

Maury's early fonts were free, under the label RAILhead Design: handwriting fonts Karen Sue, Stingray, PutterDo, Farkas, FunnyFace, grunge fonts Poltergeist and Doggie Doodie, and the dingbats HeadsAndFaces. Plus AbuseLite, Cheeka, Faerie, Flinker, Fluvii, Kitty, Mister, MrMcCown, NuGothic, TilterLite, WraithLite. Skitz And Amy are no longer there (they used to be at the now defunct mFONTS). $$ fonts at RAILhead: Chop Block (nice fat letters), Dead Font, Fomas Tart, Nugget, O-Negative, Phast Phont, Phatty, Sharpie, Simpleton, SloMo (nice tall hand-printed letters), Stingray, Twin Slime, Crash Test. He made the tall-legged Scrawny in 2010.
