Designer Barbara Lind created the fonts Cottonwood™ (1991, with Kim Buker Chansler and Joy Redick), Madrone™ (1991), Poplar™ (1990) and Woodtype™ (1990, with Joy Redick).

Madrone is an Adobe Originals typeface designed by Barbara Lind in 1991. Madrone was digitized from proofs of the woodtype collection in the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. A fat face roman, Madrone is typical of popular early nineteenth-century styles. Fat face types are characterized by their squatness and extreme letter width. One familiar version of this design is Bodoni Ultra Bold. Madrone is eye-catching for display uses in advertising and packaging.
