The Vale Press was a contemporary of Willam Morris's Kelmscott Press. The types used by the Vale Press were developed by artist Charles Ricketts, who likewise monitored the style and printing of Vale Press books. The primary type used, Vale, was based upon the Jenson 15th century roman type style.
The King's Fount was a speculative semi-uncial font style based on the Vale type. The King's Fount was created in 1903 for the Vale edition of the 15h century poem "The Kingis Quair". This semi-uncial font style stimulates old English and Anglo-Saxon lettering.
P22 Vale Pro combines the 2 typefaces P22 Vale Roman and P22 Vale King's Fount into one "Pro" typeface. This pro typeface also consists of a Central European character set, old style figures, fractions, ornaments and an unique faux "Middle English" function to make "anee text appeer Olde." This feature is not understood to exist in any other font.
