Are the type sets Photoshop images or keyable fonts?
The type sets and DVDs are transparent Photoshop images to be placed and manipulated in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator or the equivalent graphic design software. They will not install as a font. It’s really all about TEXTURES. Digital fonts won’t provide the subtle gradations that the images will show. That’s why fonts always look computer generated.

What is the fastest way to use SketchType™?
