New Tattoo Font Can Be As Individual As You Are - Published on 07/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LA based type foundry, Aerotype has released "Keepsake," a unique new tattoo inspired script font family. Designed by Stephen Miggas, the five member type family can be combined and overlapped to provide a wide range of creative options. Behind Keepsake's edgy exterior resides an edgy set of OpenType(R) font technology features including contextual characters and ligatures, discretionary characters and stylistic alternates, affording the typesetter creative flexibility and versatility.

Los Angeles, California - LA based type foundry, Aerotype has released a unique new tattoo inspired script font family called Keepsake(TM). Designed by Stephen Miggas, the five member type family can be combined and overlapped to provide a wide range of creative options.

Behind Keepsake's edgy exterior resides an edgy set of OpenType(R) font technology features including contextual characters and ligatures, discretionary characters and stylistic alternates, affording the typesetter creative flexibility and versatility. Each face includes three options for every capital letter and multiple lowercase options, including for example, special characters that automatically substitute-in at the ends of words. Other features include four swashy decorative elements and optional old-style figures accessible by supporting application's OpenType menu.

"Not only is Aerotype's Keepsake a tattoo-inspired display face - it's a tidy looking copperplate script in its own right." notes Grant Hutchinson of Typedia, "The five font flavours provide countless possibilities for layering and combining the engraved, shadow, drop, and filled variations."

The Keepsake Drop Shadow version can be used in conjunction with the other family members, and colored separately if desired. All five fonts support Latin, Eastern European and Baltic languages. As the name suggests, Keepsake strives to be a treasured member of any type collection.

"Keepsake has evolved considerably over the past few years as I tried to balance the formality of classic penmanship with the edgy look and feel of a script one might find in a tattoo studio." Miggas explains, "My intention, and hope is that designers find it appropriate for all kinds of script use not just limited to projects in the tattoo genre."

Pricing and Availability:
Keepsake can be purchased and downloaded from the Aerotype web site as a family or a la carte. There is also a type specimen PDF that details features, extra characters and other goodies. Information on new Aerotype releases and special font offers can be found on the company's Twitter and Facebook pages.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Troll Touch would like to correct a mistake that appeared in our recent press release entitled "Troll Touch Announces Summer Special Pricing and Rewards".

Multiple unit orders and "rush" orders are considered on an individual basis and will be accommodated as required. "Rush" orders may require the assessment of additional fees. These fees and any specialized shipping requirements will be discussed at the time the order is placed.

Checkmark for iPhone available in the App Store - Published on 07/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toronto based Snowman today announces Checkmark 1.0.1, its new reminder application for iOS iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Checkmark lets you create location or time-based reminders in seconds. The app shows you a list of everything you have to do, grouped by location and displayed in order of distance from your current location. When you add a new location to Checkmark you can choose a specific radius distance for each location, and much more.

Toronto, Canada - Snowman today is pleased to announce the release of Checkmark 1.0.1, a reminder application for iPhone that lets users set location-based and time-based reminders in seconds. Checkmark is available in the App Store today for just 99 cents for a limited time only. The app has received much acclaim after only one day of availability in the App Store:

* "Checkmark is both a more advanced version of Reminders, while also somehow managing to be easier to use." - TechCrunch
* "Checkmark is a brilliant to-do app." - Lifehacker
* "Checkmark is what Reminders should have been." - The Next Web
* "It's so simple." - Gizmodo

Checkmark is the fastest way to remind yourself of all the things you have to do in your busy life, such as:
* Do laundry when you get home
* Pick up milk next time you're at the grocery store
* Never miss your bus stop if you fall asleep
* Call your wife when you leave work
* Remember to pick up a cake at 3 pm tomorrow
* Make a haircut appointment on Tuesday at 10 am

As Cult of Mac mentioned, "Checkmark is the reminders app Apple should have made.", Checkmark goes above and beyond Apple's Reminders application by adding these powerful features:

Timer:
Checkmark's timer feature lets you delay a location-based reminder so that it goes off when you're ready (e.g. 15 minutes after arriving home).

Distance List:
Checkmark shows you a list of everything you have to do, grouped by location and displayed in order of distance from your current location. When you have some idle time you can see what's around you and get things done.

Choose a Geo-fence Radius for Each Location:
When you add a new location to Checkmark you can choose a specific radius distance for each location. For example, this lets you select a small radius for places in the city that might be nearby each other (for example the grocery store and the bank that's across the street).

You can set a larger radius for places like a shopping mall so that reminders go off no matter which part of the mall you're in - or for places that you'd like a reminder for when you're further away, like an upcoming bus stop.

Add Locations from Map:
Add location-based reminders for places that aren't in your contact list or your current location by searching a map to find them.

Create Reminders in Only 3 Steps:
Create location-based reminders in only 3-steps, compared to 11 in Apple's Reminders app. Create time-based reminders in only 3-steps, compared to 8 in Apple's Reminders app.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 3.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time only, Checkmark 1.0.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
