Aboutype [Joffre LeFevre] Aboutype is Joffre LeFevre's small Boston-based foundry and custom font bureau. LeFevre has been making typefaces for over thirty years. No fonts available from the web page. Joffre LeFevre's 1997 Volkswagen font series is floating around in web space however. As he says, The Volkswagen fonts were hand-drawn by me to a specification based on a long neglected display version of Futura that was developed by a photo composition type foundry in the early seventies. Similar to the type used in the introduction of the first VW Beetle.
