Sterling Script specimen from Canada Type

About

Sterling Script originates from a metal copperplate script issued by Stephenson Blake in 1952, which was itself a practical workaround for the technical difficulties of producing continuously linked copperplate characters in metal type. Canada Type first digitised it in 2005 as a seven-font set, then redrew and updated the entire design sixteen years later. The result is a single feature-rich OpenType file that replaces the earlier multi-file approach.
