Kereru was created by Daniel Reeve and published by Daniel Reeve. Kereru contains 4 designs and household plan alternatives. p > Artist and calligrapher Daniel Reeve, popular for the lettering and maps in The Lord of the Rings movies, is producing hand-crafted fonts of some of his writing styles - Kereru is the inaugural release, enabling users to replicate some of his much-admired calligraphy.

Nominally a half-uncial style, creative arrangements of the stylistic sets allow Kereru to be set as complete uncial or basic roman, along with offering numerous alternates, ligatures, swashes and flourishes, accessories, unrestricted fractions, scientific inferiors and numeric superscript, all accessible through OpenType features. Cyrillic and Greek alphabets are consisted of, in addition to the letters required for all the languages of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic.

Kereru is extremely understandable and easy on the eye, without compromising calligraphic flair. A pdf description of the Stylistic Sets and their usage is included with the font bundle, which consists of routine, strong and italic variations. Kereru Italic supercedes and enhances upon its previous version, Shire Regular.

The name Kereru comes from New Zealand's Maori language - it is our native wood pigeon, a bird of generous and rounded type, like the typeface itself.
