Canada Type · Philip Bouwsma
scriptcalligraphic
Philip Bouwsma's amalgam of High Middle Ages Church hands and Carolingian writing, spanning the ninth to fifteenth centuries.
About
Luminari's capitals draw heavily on the versals found in the Monmouth psalters and the work of Ramsey Abbey abbots from the twelfth century, while the minuscules reflect influence from the book hand of humanist scholar Poggio Bracciolini. The design holds a deliberate tension between rounded romanesque forms and angular gothic styling. It ships with over 730 glyphs.
