About Hastings Font Family
Hastings was inspired by my appreciation for old fashioned English murder mysteries set in the early part of the twentieth century. No one seems to capture the ambience of the roaring twenties or thirties better than the Brits. Everything from the clothing, to the cars, to the telephones, down to the smallest accessories like the pens, all seem to have been appropriated from the local museum. I'm hopeful that this typeface also embodies similar feelings with its sleek and streamlined Art Deco features.

About MKGD
My name is Michael Kovacevich and I run MKGD Font Foundry. I’ve been a professional graphic designer for the better part of three decades. I’ve freelanced, worked in various studios, and in the art departments of garment industries. During that time I, like most designers, have dealt with type on a daily basis. I’ve set, kerned, tracked, bastardized and hand lettered type of all kinds over those many years. These days however, I’ve decided to bring my experience to bear on the designing of typefaces. I like to think of it as distilling my years of experience into something that anyone with a creative interest could utilize. During the course of my efforts, I hope people will find my work as interesting for them to use, as it is for me to produce.
