New Type for IHOP–KC

My primary project here at the house of prayer for the past few months has been researching new typography. We’re picking new fonts to represent who we are. It has to feel as historic as prayer, but as accessible as God.

From working with bad fonts, I have also figured out that it needs to have all the right characters and options within the font library. Or else you get this:

Then it takes a talented designer to use the fantastic fonts. Or you get this:

Betsy,

Is it really you? How the heck are ya? It sure has been a long time . . . come to think of it, I don't remember those days too well. Except for the "rap" Alyce and I did. Awful. But we thought we were super-rad. After that, life just fell apart, everyone moved on (meaning, us five camp kids including Elyse O.), and after a while I joined the Air Force and progressed with life. I married an amazing woman and we now have four kids who are smart as anything and as sweet as can be.

How about you? Married? Kids? Career? How are you doing and what are you up to lately?
