London, 1741, the monumental publication of engraved work by George Bickham (in addition to partners Joseph Champion, Wellington Clark, Nathaniel Dove, Gabriel Brooks, William Leckey and many others).
This improved OpenType version is a total solution for producing documents and artworks which require this sort of calligraphic script:
100s of stylistic alternates for each letter (upper- and lowercase), accessed with the glyph scheme;
250 accessories and fleurons (mostly in the copperplate roundhand renaissance style) encoded in the dingbats range and accessed with the glyph scheme (plus an unique set with over 50 of these accessories accessed with the accessories feature);
an extensive set of ligatures (100s of stylistic and contextual alternates plus discretionary ligatures) offering letterform variations that make your designs actually unique, looking like real handwriting on the page;
complete, intricate, ready-made calligraphic words;
abbreviations (in numerous languages).
The principal typeface consists of the total Latin alphabet, consisting of Main European, Vietnamese, Baltic and Turkish with all diacritic signs, punctuation marks (including interrobang). The German 'ß' (germandbls, eszett, sharp s) even has over 6 various alternate kinds. And we don't forget to add the non-traditional germandbls uppercase.
In non-OpenType-savvy applications it works well as an English commercial script style font style. Due to the fact that of its high number of alternate letters and combinations (over 1500 glyphs), we suggest making use of the glyph combination to discover perfect services to specific styles. The sample illustrations will provide you an idea of the possibilities. You have complete access to this remarkable stuff utilizing InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXpress and similar software application. However, we still advise exploring what this font has to provide using the glyphs palette.
Two last things - we have placed a few of the accessories, catch-words and other product in additional font styles, for easier access in non-OpenType-savvy programs. They are: Penabico Words (see the pdf user guide in "Gallery"), Penabico Abbreviations (free font), and Penabico Extras (free font style). And, when purchasing Penabico you get the 'Penabico EPS Benefit Set', a present pack including various highly intrincated frames in EPS format, simple and ready to work with your preferred vector design software like Corel or Illustrator (see the pdf in the Gallery).
