Artscript

From Lanston Type Company

LTC Artscript is an attempt by Sol Hess to “convert into rigid metal the graceful penmanship of the ancient scribe.” This type of script is more common in digital form, but when originally released in 1948, it required special handling to avoid breakage. Extensive alternates were added based on original Hess drawings and additional sources. This typographically rich version contains an extended character set, ligatures, swash/alternates, fractions, superior/inferior numerals, and ornaments.
