Antiquarian

The titles struck me as handsomethe titles and captions and place labels on a page I have of Henri Abraham Chatelain's Atlas Historiqueand I felt compelled to digitize this legible, early-18th-century roman hand. The letterforms are strong and handsome. They've got a certain deft, organic character. A personality. I can't fully explain it. But this antique alphabet seems suitable for many applications. Antiquarian is a full-featured font that works well with Antiquarian Scribe which is modeled after the neat, slanted penmanship used in the body text of Chatelain's famous old world atlas . The font has more than 1,000 glyphs, including true small caps, many historical ligatures, both lining and old-style figures, and alternate ornamental caps, as well as Greek and Central/Eastern European alphabets.
