IM Fell French Canon specimen from Google Fonts

A larger, more imposing member of the Fell revival family, based on historical French Canon type.

About

IM Fell French Canon is drawn from a larger type size in the original Fell collection, giving it broader, more emphatic proportions suited to headline and display use. The worn strokes and historical irregularities are even more pronounced at this scale, making it compelling for book covers, editorial headlines, and period-themed poster work. It pairs naturally with its small caps companion for typographic hierarchy.

Classification

Part of the IM Fell series, this revival is based on French Canon type from the Bodleian's Fell collection, featuring larger, more commanding proportions than Fell English. The letterforms are generously sized with the same hallmark roughness and historical texture.
