For years Anim8 Inc. has been designing custom topical fonts for professional titling and logo work. Animators know that if they want to create the ultimate presentation, selecting the right type is an extremely important task. Whether you need a futuristic font, something with a Middle Eastern flavor, or Stars and Stripes for political work, we've got your type! Unlike standard font sets, each individual typeface has been custom designed specifically for 3D animation work. 2D type inherently contains large numbers of verticies, and crossed bezier curves. When used in an animation package and lofted into 3D, animators find themselves dealing with self intersecting vertices and phenomenally complex objects. The type sets found in Fifty-Two Degrees are 100% free of self intersections and contain the absolute minimum number of vertices. The final result? Crisper, cleaner looking text! Lower rendering times! and subsequently the ability to animate a larger amount of text faster. (These sets represent an average of 76-340% less vertices than standard postscript fonts!) Fifty-Two Degrees offers professional animators unparalleled quality in font software. Handcrafted one vertex at a time from orginal wood and steel type masters, these sets represent years of painstaking work and span over three centuries of typography. Each individual character is thoroughly studied and recreated, resulting in an unequalled selection of professional fonts. Fifty-Two Degrees encompasses one of the largest collections of topical font sets ever assembled. Of course we carry a full line of classic typefaces, such as Roman and Swiss, but with all of the choices we offer, why would you want to limit yourself? If you have the need for hollow or true bevelled text, you already know that you can't achieve the effects without a large amount of tedious vertex manipulation.
