Publisher: Canada Type
Loxley was developed by Jim Rimmer and published by Canada Type. Loxley contains 1 design. p > Drawn soon prior to Jim Rimmer's death in 2010, Loxley was designed to be utilized in a fine press edition of the folklore story of Robin Hood. It was named after the cited birth place of the story's classic hero.

Loxley's shapes were influenced the exact same early Roman faces (such as Subiaco from the late 1400s) that affected Frederick Goudy's Aries, Franciscan and Goudry Thirty types. It shows the preculiarities of Jim's left-handed calligraphy, along with his outside-the-box thinking with exit strokes and serif variations.

Loxley was remastered for the latest technologies in 2013. Now it features a character set of over 450 glyphs, including lots of stylistic alternates, a full compliment of f-ligatures, a Th-ligature, standard portions, ordinals, a long s for historical setting, detailed class-based kerning, and extended Latin language support.

20% of this font's profits will be donated to the Canada Type Scholarship Fund, supporting higher typography education in Canada.
