Publisher: GLC FoundryThe popular Irish poet and novelist Jonathan Swift (Dublin 1667-1745) has a large personnal library of which he discovered carefully the book list by himself. We have actually used a facsimile from this catalogue to reconstuct this present typeface, as one exemple of the personnal poet's hands but likewise as a common exemple of the British quill pen handwriting from about mid 1600's to the beginning of 1700's.
It is a "Pro" font consisting of Western (consisting of Celtic) and Northern European, Icelandic, Baltic, Eastern, Central European and Turquish diacritics. The many alternates and ligatures permit to made the font looking as closely as possible to the genuine hand. Using an OTF software application, the functions allow to differ automaticaly nearly each character of a word without anything to do but to pick contextual alternates and standard ligatures and/or stylistic alternates options.
