Scotch Modern was developed by Nick Shinn and published by Shinntype. Scotch Modern includes 9 designs and family plan choices. p > Recontextualizing the 10-point kind of a clinical report published in 1873, Nick Shinn has produced sleekly improved, micro-detailed vector drawings by eye, without the assistance of scans, hence providing a paradoxical review of the way in which mechanical images seduces us with the trite accuracy of simulacra.

This stunning genre of type, so popular in books, magazines and advertisements throughout the Victorian age and much of the 20th century, was derided by advocates of both the Arts & & Crafts movement and 20th century modernists, and has actually never been appropriately adapted to hot metal, phototype, or digital media-- until now.

Now the complete variety of typographic expression is possible in this style. The OpenType fonts support Western and CE encodings, Cyrillic (with Bulgarian alternates) and Polytonic Greek. There are lots of unique functions, including small caps, unicase, italic swash capitals, ten sets of figures per font style, and both slashed and nut (vertical) fractions.
