IvyOra is a Dutch Old Face serif, a transitional revival produced from historical specimens found at the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp. For Ivy Foundry’s Jan Maack, it was a passion project: “Type is culture, and just like preserving buildings and paintings from a golden period in time, it feels necessary to safeguard these old type forms and to revive them into digital fonts” to be appreciated and used by designers and typographers today.
The primary source of inspiration was a 1695 folio sheet called Proef van Letteren from the widow of Dirck Voskens. The sheet contains types attributed to Nicolaes Briot, the same as those used by William Caslon for his Great Primer Roman. Additionally, the Italic specimen can be attributed to Christoffel van Dijck (known in his time as the greatest punch-cutter of Old Face types in Holland).
With 5 weights, matching italics, or 2 variable fonts, IvyOra can, with creativity and ease, upgrade magazines, enhance advertisements, and amplify brands.
