“The idea to create Theatralis was conceived after a visit to Prague. A Victorian art magazine headline caught my eye and
inspired me to create a matching font. Theatralis features lower case letters as well as capitals and a limited amount of special characters (including umlauts
and “ß”). It was specifically designed to create authentic headlines that remind us ofthe late Victorian times.” Silas Toball

Typeface design 'MacLir''
MacLir was created around 1996 as an attempt to blend mythic elements with a modern apprach. The font is not being offered officially at the moment and is being used as trademark element of Silas' distinctive designs.
Future projects
In future there are book design projects planned as well as designs for more greeting cards and calendars.
Besides the wish to have more time for painting, Silas also wants get more serious about his musical ambitions, picking up music composition and performing for some recording projects. Ideas are to create a blend of progressive rock, classical, fusion and elements of vintage electronica.
