Amador specimen from Parkinson Type Design

A blackletter face drawing on the Arts and Crafts tradition, with clear debts to the lettering philosophies of Frederic Goudy and Rudolf Koch.

About

Amador is rooted in the hand-lettering ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement, channelling the warmth and deliberate craft of that period into a digital blackletter. The influence of Goudy and Koch gives it a humanist quality uncommon in more rigid gothic forms. It is distributed through Linotype and MyFonts.

Classification
