Sobre la familia


Perrywood Script is a handwritten typeface with very traditional letterforms. It has the irregular look of something written with a pen, yet it was clearly done by someone with a firm knowledge of Renaissance handwriting. It lends itself to short passages of text, even at small sizes, and at large sizes it can give an impression that is simultaneously both formal and informal.

Perrywood Script comes from the handwritten notations in the Monotype Corporation’s Index of Typefaces, a physical notebook that recorded the typefaces published by Monotype from the 1950s to the 1970s. Type designer Andrea Leksen used this as the basis for a revival, not of a typeface, but of a typographic style of writing. The resulting fonts include two weights, Regular and Bold, with italic companions to each. The italics are based on Renaissance chancery italic, which were not used in the notebook but come from the same calligraphic tradition.

Longtime senior Monotype type designer Robin Nicholas provided Leksen with background on the Index, which began as a consolidation of information from “old leather-bound diaries, pink record cards, and other miscellaneous records.” He thinks that the book was initially written by William Massey, who worked in the Fount Records department and was known at Monotype for his excellent penmanship.

As I flipped through images of the notebook,” writes Leksen, “I was impressed with the writer’s consistency of metrics, strokes, and terminals, down to the minute details of serifs, and heights of different types of numbers. I love the tall x-height, the beautiful design of the double story g, and the attention to detail that was taken to create beautiful connections in the ligatures and leave meticulous letterspacing throughout.”
