Typos Allmighty

Typos, which caused a huge boom from the late 1960s through the 1970s, arrives on the Macintosh as the kana typeface Typos Allmighty.

Renewed by Group Typo, it now comes in 24 variations, designed to combine with any typeface. The flexible Macintosh DTP environment opens up the world of Typos even further.

Veteran designers will find it a nostalgic classic, while younger designers will see it as a modern typeface — it suits a wide range of uses.

Replacing the kana of a typeface you own with Typos Allmighty transforms its character completely, so you can use that typeface for even more purposes.

You can swap the kana using recomposite fonts made with Adobe Type Composer, composite fonts in PageMaker, font sets in QuarkXPress, or the Illustrator 5.5J filter “Type Mixing”.

Support programs

If you use Adobe Type Composer to combine Typos Allmighty with typefaces you own, the kerning data supplied with the product cannot be used. In that case, use “TyposTsumeMaker” to create kerning data for your own recomposite font, so you can kern text in PageMaker 6.0J and Adobe Illustrator 5.5J.
