| At !Exclamachine Type Foundry, we try to contribute to type culture, typographic awareness, and advancing the state of language as a common technology. Additionally, we attempt to share what we can with others, and be a real benefit to the world. While lettering, calligraphy, type and digital fonts have a beautiful and rich history, one of the most fascinating aspects is the growth of language, as it parallels our own as a species. Constantly, new expressions spring forward as we refashion our tongue to the contemporary world. A portion of the sale of every !Exclamachine digital font sold goes to literacy programs for adults in underprivileged nations. The following projects are sponsored or pioneered, in part or whole, by !Exclamachine Type Foundry to bring the joy of letters to everyone, and to explore the state of the art of writing:

 Sarcasm, hyperbole, understatement and double entendre are often intoned in our spoken dialog. The snark is the new punctuation mark to perform that same task in writing. Requiring no new equipment or retooling, and easy to explain and use, the snark is happening now. The Snark Organization's website is the authoritative source of information. The history, usage, FAQs, a directory of adoption, promotional material and guides for designers that wish to refine the snark are all available at: |

Typosium is intended to become the premier center of knowledge and opinion on digital fonts and original typefaces. Combining the collaborative facts of a wiki with the journalism of a web newsmagazine, Typosium is intended to be the place where foundries, designers, hobbyists and fans all cross paths to promote excellence in type design. Currently, Typosium is in the planning and technology evaluation stage. Organization is ad hoc and we welcome all interested parties. Learn more, and join us at: |
