About
Derived from Paul Carlyle's intricately ornate Carlyle Roccoco, originally designed for Photolettering in the 1970s, this family packages foreground, background, border and compact Sherman styles into a single chromatic system. Individual glyphs took between one and three hours to draw, and the Borders font comes with a Drawbot script for generating circular and repeating ornamental patterns. Suited to packaging, signage and short-run display work where maximum decorative impact is the point.
Classification
