Arthur specimen from ParaType

A single-weight calligraphic display face drawn by Vladimir Yefimov in 1994, based on Arthur Baker's Agfa Marigold of 1989.

About

The design follows Baker's original Marigold in its broad-pen calligraphic structure, with pronounced stroke contrast, bracketed serifs and expressive terminals visible in the specimen. Only a Regular style is offered, suited to display rather than extended text use.

Classification

The specimen shows a high-contrast, calligraphic roman with strong pen-influenced strokes, irregular serif treatment and expressive letterforms derived from Arthur Baker's Agfa Marigold. This places it firmly in the display/calligraphic category rather than conventional text serif.
