Old Ledger

Old Ledger is a connected formal script with bookish poise.

The letters move forward with a steady, unhurried hand. Connections are continuous and confident, swashes are restrained rather than ornamental, and the proportions sit close to a careful writing master's exemplar. There is a quiet authority in the forms — the script reads like ink on cotton paper, not like a flourish on a sign.

The font carries an editorial, scholarly tone. It feels at home on the title page of a leather-bound book, on a hand-printed concert programme, on the engraved face of a banknote, or on the brass plaque of an old hotel — anywhere a careful hand has set a line of text and meant it to last.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.
