A revival of 19th-century display type with added swash characters and a companion italic designed from scratch by Jessica Hische.
About
The roman draws from a handful of 19th-century specimens, augmented with swashy alternate characters that reflect Hische's lettering background. The italic is an original design rather than a sloped version of the roman. Suited to packaging, branding and editorial contexts that call for decorative flair without straying too far from historical precedent.
Classification
A revival of 19th-century display type with swash characters and a newly designed italic, placing it firmly in the decorative display serif tradition.
