Publisher: GLC FoundryThis font style was inspirated from the unusual manual Roman "Quadrata" utilized by an unidentified scribe to wright a copy of Latin poet Virgil's "Georgiques", around years 161 to 180 BC. Just a couple of sheets have made it through, now preserved by different libraries in the world.
We have produced the font as to be adjusted for modern users, making difference in between U and V, I and J, which has not any significance for ancient Latin scribes, and naturally with Thorn, Oslash, Lslash, W, Y… … and usual accented characters and punctuation, who was no more existing by the time. There was just capitals in the initial, so, each caracter A-Z and a-z might be interverted to give a plaisant appearence of manual script with different alternates for a very same glyph. We have added the Roman numerators "I V X L C D M" in the OTF/TTF versions, with usual mixes, functional as "Old Design Numerals" alternates.
