Mirabel is based on the handwriting of Beverly Bouwsma (Philip's mother), which she developed in the 1930s in, as she puts it, an act of teenage disobedience. In the 1960s, Philip provided her a broad-edged Osmiroid water fountain pen which she took to instantly and has actually used since, along with the computer font styles he made from her script.
Since Beverly Bouwsma combined loops and straight ascenders, two interchangeable fonts have actually emerged, a formal bundle that sacrifices some flamboyance for classical balance and legibility, however maintains the quality of the writing and commemorates the personality of its creator.
The Mirabel fonts are readily available in all popular font formats, and the character sets cover a large range of codepages, including Central and Eastern European languages, Esperanto, Turkish, Baltic, Celtic/Welsh.
