A refined uncial typeface named for paleographer E. A. Lowe, distinguished from Celtic-revival predecessors by its controlled letterforms, swash alternates and a Greek character set.
About
Drawing on the uncial tradition rather than its Celtic-revival offshoots, Lowe offers letterforms precise enough for fine printing as well as display use. Two rare features set it apart from well-known uncials such as Victor Hammer's American Uncial and De Roos's Libra: swash alternate glyphs and a Greek character set, the latter provided without diacriticals. The result is an uncial with understated versatility, equally at home at large display sizes or in considered text settings.
Classification
Lowe is an uncial typeface, placing it firmly in the display category with historical script origins. Unlike Celtic-revival uncials, it takes a refined, controlled approach suited to fine printing and display work.
