Dead Fonts
Smeltery · 2002
A graveyard listing of discontinued Smeltery fonts from 2002 to 2008, retired by the foundry on the grounds that they are no longer fit for use.
About
Smeltery's dead fonts page collects roughly two dozen typefaces withdrawn from sale or distribution between 2002 and 2008, ranging from display and novelty cuts to at least two monospaced variants. The foundry is candid that these were retired because they fall short of current standards, though a handful including Geronto, Megalopolis and Audimat are noted as candidates for eventual redesign. Not a usable family in any conventional sense, this is an archive of early experimental work.
Classification
The page lists a collection of discontinued display and novelty fonts spanning various styles; no single category applies, but display is the broadest fit for Smeltery's experimental output.
