Paestum is a Latin typeface inspired by Greek inscriptions of the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Its name comes, suitably, from the Latin name for Poseidonia, a former Greek city south of Naples whose two remaining Doric temples have been on antiquities tours since at least the 1700s. Others have scanned this terrain before, of courseincluding Carol Twombly (Lithos) and Adrian Frutigerbut no earlier designs supplied a lower case. Although Paestum includes complete upper- and lowercase alphabets, diacritics, numerals, and essential punctuation, it does not have many unhistorical glyphssuch as currency symbols and the @ sign. Paestum comes with three weights: light, medium, and heavy. US$59.

KIND WORDS: |
I'm a collector of 19th century antiques and photographs, and like to make labels and scrapbooks using fonts that fit the period of my items. I've even tried to learn the penmanship myself using dip pens... your fonts will make it so much easier! P.M., Palatine IL
I've never seen anyone digitize old quill-pen handwriting [like Schooner Script], warts and all. You've done a fine job. R.W., Costa Mesa CA
Oh! I'm in loooove with [Lamar Pen]! It's lovely, it's organic, it's real, it's got history & tradition. My designs are singing! C.C., Palo Alto CA
I took one look at American Scribe and knew it was the Declaration of Independence before reading the ad copy. You captured it perfectly. B.P., Marietta OH
The Lamar Pen font is divine. We are using it on a novel set in the eighteenth century, and the author is ecstatic. J.H., London, England
Thanks so much for the great service and wonderful typefaces! S.F., Evanston IL
Your fonts are gorgeous, and in particular, your handwriting fonts are the best I've ever seen. J.H., Witny, Oxfordshire, England
