Bookmania was designed by Mark Simonson and published by Mark Simonson. Bookmania contains 10 styles and family package options.
Bookmania (2011) is a revival of Bookman Oldstyle (1901) and the Bookmans of the 1960s, but with all the features you would expect in a modern digital font family.

Important: Features of Bookmania marked with an asterisk (*) require OpenType advanced typography support in order to work (swashes, especially). It works best with applications like Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress. In other applications, features may be inaccessible. A ‘glyph’ palette or window is required to access all but the basic swash variants. Check your application’s user guide for availability of these features.
