gdouros-alexander-fonts - A Greek typeface inspired by Alexander Wilson
- Description:
A text typeface using the Greek letters designed by Alexander Wilson
(1714-1786), a Scottish doctor, astronomer, and type founder, who
established a type foundry in Glasgow in 1744. The type was especially
designed for an edition of Homer’s epics, published in 1756-8 by
Andrew and Robert Foulis, printers to the University of Glasgow. A
modern revival, Wilson Greek, was designed by Matthew Carter in 1995.
Peter S. Baker is also using Wilson’s Greek type in his Junicode font
for medieval scholars (2007).
Latin and Cyrillic are based on a Garamond typeface. The font covers
the Windows Glyph List, IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, Ancient Gree
Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation, various
typographic extras and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive
Forms, Small Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators,
Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms,
Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures).
It was created by George Douros.
