Tried & True Supply Co. [Brian Brubaker] Tried & True Supply Co. is the husband and wife creative team of Brian and Marcy Brubaker. Together, they run their design and screen printing studio out of their home in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 2016, they designed Herschel, a vintage Victorian typeface. At Fort Foundry, Brian Brubaker designed these typefaces: Figure (2021, with Mattox Shuler). Figure is a sturdy quirkhorse sans inspired by gothic wood type of the 19th century, available as a family of 40 fonts of 5 weights across 4 widths including roman and italics. Alkaline (2021), by Jonathan Ball, Mattox Shuler and Brian Brubaker. This typeface family at an 18 degree slope was inspired by 1950s lettering and logos on kitchen appliances. Pentz (2021). A Victorian font by Mattox Shuler and Brian Brubaker. First developed for the Motown Museum in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. The album title was originally set in Tedesca (a late 19th century font), but the cover designer, Curtis McNair, took some nice liberties in adjusting the letterforms when setting the type. Pentz continues in this theme, reviving and modernizing Tedesca.	EXTERNAL LINKS Tried & True Supply Co.
