Magpie Paper Works [Jessica McCarty]

Type foundry in the United Staes, run by lettering artist Jessica McCarty, which specializes in hand-drawn, pen-drawn and hand-printed typefaces. In 2017, she co-founded Rare Bird Font Foundry.

The following fonts were released in 2012: Vermandois (a great irregular vintage penman's hand, accompanied by Vermandois Splatter), Saltpetre (grungy medieval outline face), Plinth (architectural typeface), Mignonette, Jacob Riley (a vintage 18th century printers' specimen revival, hand-illustrated with calligraphy nibs dipped in walnut ink), Ghouligoo, Cerise (curly hand), Sullivan, Saissant (Treefrog style), Campland.

In 2013, she made the upright calligraphic script typeface Ahra and the children's script typeface Mirabelle (not to be confused wit an earlier typeface called Mirabelle by Alessandro Colizzi, or the 1926 Mirabelle typeface by Wagner&Schmidt). Ondise (2013) and Dasha (2013) are other decorative scripts in the mould of Emily Lime's Bombshell Pro.

Typefaces from 2014: Woolen (a hand-inked & italicized serif, based upon a 17th century type specimen by Jean Jannon. Many of the capital letters are decorated with subtle sprigs and leaves, while the lowercase letters remain classically styled).

Typefaces from 2015: Quimbly, Rivea Twist, Rivea Upright: two calligraphic scripts.

Typefaces from 2017: Liesel (a watercolor brush typeface family consisting of Regular, Brush, Pencil, Shadow, Printed, Icons).

Typefaces from 2019: RF Marshall.
