Alexander by George Douros is a free high-contrast italic serif with the stately sweep of formal pen lettering. Narrow letters lean decisively forward, finished with crisp, tapered serifs. Generous capitals and compact lowercase forms create a lively change of scale.
Publishers and cultural institutions can use it for literary book covers, exhibition posters, and formal invitations, where its refined drawing suggests history without imitating a single period. Boutique packaging also suits these flowing shapes, linking all four settings through lettering that feels ceremonial, graceful, and personal.
A text typeface using the Greek letters designed by Alexander Wilson (1714-1786), a Scottish doctor, astronomer, and typefounder. The type was especially designed for an edition of Homers epics, published in 1756-8 by Andrew and Robert Foulis, printers to the University of Glasgow. A modern revival, Wilson Greek, has been designed by Matthew Carter in 1995. Peter S. Baker is also using Wilsons 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, Greek Extended, IPA Extensions, Ancient Greek 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).
