Typetanic Fonts [Gregory Shutters] Typetanic is the personal foundry of graphic and type designer Greg Shutters (New York City). Founded in 2013, Typetanic aims to create original designs as well as adapt historic lettering and type styles for the needs of an ever-changing design market. In addition to being the principal of Typetanic Fonts, Shutters also currently works as Communications Associate for the SS United States Conservancy, a non-profit organization interested in the preservation and redevelopment of the historic ocean liner SS United States. In 2013, he designed Columbia Titling, a titling-caps display family based on wide Clarendon-style wood type and industrial signage design from the late-19th and early-20th Century. It won an award at TDC 2014. Transat (2013) is an art deco sans family based on signage found in the Gare Maritime ocean liner terminals in Le Havre and Cherbourg, France, in the early 1930s. Transat Text (2013) is a more subdued, but still geometric, sibling of Transat. Gibbs is a tough, sophisticated sans, named for prolific maritime architect William Francis Gibbs and inspired by his greatest design, the record-breaking mid-century luxury liner SS United States.
