Duerer Latin
ABOUT DUERER LATIN CAPITALS...
Albrecht Drer (Germany, 1471-1528) drew these schematics to guide the novice in drawing letters because he was such a type snob and felt that type was going to hell already.
Wonder what he would think today with all the Helvetica derivatives (Photoshop + Helvetica = EVIL!)...
Duerer Latin Capitals includes the letters; Duerer Latin Construction Capitals are the diagrams to draw them. Each includes the upper case (minus J and V) plus a few alternate characters. There are no numerals or punctuation. Note: They don't allign when typed one over the other.
BY THE WAY...
Dover has a nice little book out with these drawings and the full text of Herr Drer's snobbery. I love type snobbery!
ABOUT DISTRIBUTION. . .
You may distribute this font shamelessly. You may translate it to any platform, just don't change the name. You may remix it, just give me credit and let me know.
