Isabelle Pro specimen from Canada Type

A digitisation of a late 1930s German metal face, revised and remastered from Jim Rimmer's earlier digital version.

About

The original metal type was designed in Germany in the late 1930s but saw little use due to the war. Jim Rimmer digitised it in the early 2000s, applying mathematical corrections and functional improvements suited to digital contexts. Canada Type remastered the Rimmer digitisation in 2013, retaining the face's refined art deco qualities and its highly regarded italic.

Classification
