Calligraphic Ornaments Available as Font

It’s really been fun to watch the proliferation of digital fonts. They began to appear in 1985 along with Apple’s postscript laser printer and Linotype’s “Linotronic” imagesetter. They were expensive, and with the exception of Adobe and a few established foundries, there wasn’t too much digital type to be found.

Today there are endless variations of the old standbys, display fonts and picture fonts.

Recently a student asked about a calligraphy font, and if you’re receiving the ezine from MyFonts, then you may already know about Paulo W’s font, CalligraphiaLatina. Just out last month on MyFonts, this font offers a wide assortment of ornaments that can be used to impart a formal appearance to graphic design.
