Description: 
A collection of fonts from thibault.org, including Isabella, Engadget, Essays1743, Rockets, and StayPuft.

Engadget: A sort of modernistic font done to match the logo of http://www.engadget.com

Essays1743: This is Essays 1743, a font by John Stracke, based on the typeface
used in a 1743 English translation of Montaigne's Essays. At present
(version 1.0), it contains normal, bold, italic, and bold italic versions
of 817 characters: all of ASCII, Latin-1, and Latin Extended A; some of
Latin Extended B (basically, the ones that are more or less based on Roman
letters); and a variety of other characters, such as oddball punctuation, numerals, etc.

Isabella: This font is called Isabella because it is based on the calligraphic
hand used in the Isabella Breviary, made around 1497, in Holland, for
Isabella of Castille, the first queen of united Spain.

Rockets: This font is called Rockets because it's vaguely space themed.  The A
is, more or less, a 1950s SF rocket; the O is meant to be Earth, with
the Americas visible.  The other capitals are based on curves from
either A or O, to keep the theme consistent.

StayPuft: Not a very impressive piece of work, but fun. I sat down to fiddle with pfaedit, and started seeing what I could do freehand, with minimal splines. The result was all rounded (not surprising), sort of marshmallowy, and I started thinking of it as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Font (see Ghostbusters if you don't get it). Once I had a name, I felt compelled to round out the font (ISO 8859-1, at least). The outcome looks sort of like Comic Sans MS. It's kind of cute, and might be good for frivolous stuff such as birthday cards.
