Luminare began life as a personal and academic enquiry into stencilled lettering. The crucial sources of this research study where discovered in liturgical manuscripts from the 17th century and calligraphic explores the broad nibbed pen. Other impacts consist of the work of W. A. Dwiggins, the writings of Eric Kindel, Richard Sennett, Phil Baines and Nicolette Grey.
The resulting typeface, whilst based on historic forms, has a subtle and tidy aesthetic which enables the typeface to be silently applied to a range of modern typographic applications-- in both print and digital. Details consist of five 5 weights with Opentype features.
