Typestry is an
abandonware 3d software program released in the 1990s by
Pixar for
Apple Macintosh and DOS-based PC computer systems. Unlike general purpose
modellers and
renderers, Typestry concentrated on rendering and animating text entered by the user in multiple
fonts. The fonts were
extruded into three dimensions, with various bevel styles and textures applied during rendering. It was one of Pixar's only application software packages released on the open market. It was discontinued when Pixar chose to concentrate on film production instead of application development.
