Description:

Grace was designed by Elisabeth Megnet and appeared with Linotype in 1992. The font is a part of the package "Calligraphy for Print", which also contains Ruling Script and Wiesbaden Swing. "Calligraphy for Print 2" completes the set. These packages offer modern calligraphy fonts particularly well-suited to use in posters, magazines and advertisements. The basic style of Grace is based on the Gothic miniscule of the 13th century. It represents a modern philosophy held by Andre Guertler, Professor of Typography in Basel with whom Megnet once studied. With this philosophy, calligraphy is not to be seen as a decorative art, and fonts created according to this tenet have far fewer ornamental strokes. They are eccentric, drawn out and almost bulky. Like Gothic forms, one of the predecessors of this font, Grace gives vertical lines a particular emphasis. This font is not meant for long texts but makes a distinctive impression in shorter texts or headlines. This face is part of the value pack Calligraphy for Print 2
