About

Fellowship was named in tribute to the American Typecasting Fellowship and reflects Rimmer's personal calligraphic hand, with squarish minuscules and hybrid Renaissance majuscules giving it a semi-italic tension. It was physically cut and cast by Rimmer on his own Thompson typecasting machine before being brought into digital form. The 2013 remaster added over 420 glyphs, built-in alternates and ligatures.
