Crazy Diamond Design – historical fonts

We specialise in typefaces representing historical forms of handwriting and printing, used throughout the British Isles in the past two millennia. Our typefaces include extensive historical character sets, full references and historical information.

Our typefaces are available with on-line reference material for immediate download. See the list below.

Typefaces that form a coherent group for particular historical periods are available; the price of the collection reresents a saving on the summed individual prices of the constituent typefaces.

Each of our fonts is hand-draughted and carefully digitised to provide high quality reproductions of historical hands, and is available in OpenType or AAT form (signified by an OT or AAT suffix): full details of the advantages of OpenType and AAT are available here.
