FAKTOS

Version 1.5.1

Copyright (c) 1991-2017 by Cory Maylett Design LLC. All rights reserved.

Faktos is an original copyrighted font designed by me, Cory Maylett, in 1991. I designed it with coal mines, steel mills and railroads in mind. Faktos is a typeface reminiscent of the smokestack industries that epitomized progress during the first half of the 20th Century.

I originally distributed Faktos as shareware in 1991 as a Macintosh Type 1 Postscript format. Beginning in 2017, I am making this typeface available in updated OpenType and TrueType formats under the End User License Agreement (EULA) that accompanies the font files.

Unfortunately, Faktos has been widely pirated since I first released it in 1991. I do my best to contact font download sites requesting that they remove illegal copies and versions of Faktos. Many have been responsive to my removal request. Please report instances of Faktos font piracy to me at http://maylett.net/contact.


ALTERNATE CHARACTERS

I designed Faktos with several alternate characters included within the font. These alternate characters can be easily accessed using software that supports OpenType alternates, like most Adobe® publishing softare. Alternate character support differs from one software package to another, so please reference your software help files for instructions.


MORE

This folder contains OpenType and TrueType versions of the same font. Install whichever one suits your needs. Reference your computer help files if you're unsure how to install font software.

This probably goes without saying, but Faktos looks best at display sizes (over 20 points, or so). The letters are spaced a little tighter than in most fonts to accommodate this. Don't be surprised if the font doesn't look good when used in smaller sizes; it wasn't designed to be used as a text face.

As time permits, I plan to update Faktos further by including glyphs to more widely support Central and Eastern European alphabets. I will post these updates at http://maylett.net/faktos as I complete them.

If you find errors in the font, please contact me at http://maylett.net/contact.

Thank you for legally downloading and using Faktos.
