Isabelle is the closest thing to a metal type revival Jim Rimmer ever did. The initial metal face was developed and cut in late 1930s Germany, however its propspects were cut brief by the arrival of the war. This was one of Jim's preferred faces, most likely due to the fact that of the refined art deco components that advised him of his vibrant interest about everything press-related, and the face's intricately believed balance between calligraphy and typography. Not to discuss one of the most stunning italics ever made.
Jim's early 2000s digitization included mathematical corrections to the original metal cut, along with some functional enhancements for digital usage. In 2013, during the remastering of the entire Rimmer collection, Isabelle went through considerable reassessing & & growth and was rechristened Isabelle Pro. The new modifications consist of little caps, ligatures, seven kinds of figures, automated fractions, extended Latin language support, stylistic alternates that consist of lowercase serif angle options in the roman and looped ascenders/descenders in the italic, and plenty of extra OpenType functions like caps-to-small-caps alternative, case-sensitive positioning, ordinals, and extended class-based kerning. Now each of the Isabelle Pro fonts includes over 680 glyphs.
