Walter specimen from Canada Type

A revival of Walter MacKay's 1952 Heritage typeface for ATF, rendered as clean, free-flowing chancery calligraphy suited to both large display and smaller decorative text uses.

About

Walter is based on a subdued, traditional letterform structure that retains legibility at relatively small sizes whilst remaining expressive enough for posters and packaging. The font ships with 430 glyphs, a broad range of Latin-based language support, and a selection of alternates and ligatures. Its conservative character makes it suitable for personalized correspondence and typographic quotables.

Classification

Quasi-Chancery revival of Walter MacKay's Heritage typeface originally made for ATF in 1952. Includes alternates and ligatures.
