Old Flame
Letterhead Fonts · John Studden
A decorative display face by John Studden with ornate capitals designed for classic or vintage-styled work, featuring an OpenType substitution system to moderate the decorative intensity automatically.
About
Old Flame pairs highly ornate uppercase letterforms with plainer alternates, toggled automatically via OpenType ligature substitution to prevent compositions from appearing overly fussy. The built-in logic places a plain cap after a decorative one, a guideline Studden recommends following manually in non-Adobe applications. Priced at $15 for a single licence, it sits in Letterhead Fonts' roster of classic-inflected display typefaces.
Classification
A decorative display face with ornate capital letterforms, described as having a classic look. The OpenType substitution of plain caps for decorative ones indicates highly stylised uppercase glyphs typical of Victorian-era display scripts.
