Font Spotlight: Imprimato

Monday November 17, 2008
While I'd heard of Scriptorium before (there are some links to them here on this site), it wasn't until I was poking around at fonts.com that I realized that this digital foundry is based here in Austin, Texas. So I started looking through their offerings and thought I'd highlight one of their fonts that jumped out at me the most.

Imprimato by Scriptorium
Imprimato. It makes me think of medieval times, wizards and knights, and such. Some of the uppercase letters are lowercase forms and some of the lowercase letters are capital forms. And it has my favorite style of ampersand too. (Buy Direct)

I just like it. How 'bout you? I wondered about the name, Imprimato. A search for a definition kept prompting me with "did you mean: imprimatur" which means "let it be printed." Appropriate.
