A modern Scotch serif by Leo Philp, drawing on Alexander Wilson, 17th-century French modulation and 18th-century Belgian type for extended reading.
About
Designed by Leo Philp and developed between 2016 and 2020, it synthesises Scottish, French and Belgian historical precedents into a contemporary structure with five weights and matching italics. Small caps, oldstyle and tabular figures, fractions, superscript, subscript and six stylistic sets give it the typographic range expected of serious book work. The foundry includes variable font versions across all ten styles, and the character set covers well over eighty Latin-script languages.
Classification
Explicitly described as a modern Scotch, drawing on Alexander Wilson of Fife, 17th-century French modulation and 18th-century Belgian influence, placing it firmly in the Scotch Roman branch of the modern serif tradition.
