What it does
Delve Fonts publishes retail type and offers custom font services, language expansion and specialized engineering. Its catalog includes Afzoon, Tuppence and Vena Amoris, alongside the free, open-source Overpass family.
Afzoon is a useful starting point for a mixed-script headline. Its Arabic-led design extends into Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, with tabular figures, stylistic alternates and contextual features illustrated on the family page. The Specimen, Features and glyph sections let you examine those choices before opening Buy Now. A PDF specimen is also available.
Overpass provides a free production option. Based on the U.S. highway sign alphabet, it includes proportional and monospaced designs, static styles and variable fonts. The family page identifies it as open source and shows zero-price download choices; its licence is separate from the paid retail agreement.
For commercial families, the ordinary Desktop licensed unit covers up to three installations or simultaneous uses. Converting those files into webfonts is prohibited. Web purchases include webfont files and CSS, while app coverage is paid once per app title and supplies TrueType files. Delve also describes extending legacy fonts and engineering custom work for specialized software and devices.
