Circulaire Font

Publisher: Canada Type

Circulaire is a set of initial caps developed by Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos in 1926, and digitized in 2009 by Hans van Maanen. Uncommon serifs, spurs and swashes make for interesting continuity points in the familiarly angled shapes, while adding an unique calligrapher's touch to the beheld forms. As far as initials go, this set consists of the additional touch of pesonality required to lead into a pragraph, which is preferable to the usual swashed italics that are extensively used.
