Antiquarian contains 1 style. p > The titles struck me as handsome-- the titles and captions and location labels on a page I have of Henri Abraham Chatelain's Atlas Historique. I 'd currently modeled
Antiquarian Scribe after the neat, inclined penmanship used in the body text of Chatelain's well-known vintage atlas; now I felt obliged to digitize this clear roman handlettering, too.
The letterforms are strong and handsome. They've got a specific deft, organic character. A character. I can't totally explain it. However this antique alphabet appears ideal for lots of applications. Antiquarian is a full-featured typeface that works well with Antiquarian Scribe.
