Alexander Quill was initially created in the early 1980s to be cut in 14 point for casting into foundry type for the setting and printing of limited edition books at Pie Tree Press, Jim Rimmer's personal sanctum.
This alphabet shows conventional calligraphic tension, which helps its simple, rather octagonal types play well together for an easy read. Its setting reveals a remarkable sense of history or fantasy.
Alexander Quill was upgraded and remastered for the most recent innovations in 2012. It includes lots of built-in alternates, a glyphset of over 410 characters, and supports the bulk of Latin-based languges.
20% of this typeface's profits will be contributed to the a GDC scholarship fund, supporting greater typography education in Canada.
