Mercator Set designed by Arthur Baker, USA
Gerardus
Mercator was born in the Netherlands in 1512. His name has ended up being synonymous with the
Mercator map projection scheme where our world is represented as a flat image producing some distortion in the Northern and Southern extremities. It eventually presents a map of the world with terrific clearness. As a male of the Renaissance,
Mercator likewise had an interest in such topics as calligraphy.
Contemporary American calligrapher Arthur Baker has actually studied the penmanship of
Mercator and has actually created this typeface based on the lettering used on
Mercator's popular world map.
The
Mercator set includes alternate Swashes which can be used for specific letters when a more elaborate lettering impact is desired.
Mercator is accredited for release through P22 type foundry Inc./ International Home of Fonts.
