Perpetua Italic was designed (circa 1925) for the British Monotype Corporation by Eric Gill to accompany Perpetua Roman. In honor of the 100th birthday of Perpetua, we are offering a limited casting from the Bixler Letterfoundry.
The face is beautiful for setting poetry as well as being very suitable for marginalia in fine press books or elegant caption work.
This special issue from the Bixler Letterfoundry in partnership with Dry Inc. is a limited 18pt. casting of Perpetua Italic .Each font is made up as an approximate 14A scheme with upper and lower case, figures, punctuation, and ligatures. As with all Bixler Monotype casting, the mix of foundry metal ensures a harder alloy for longer-lasting type. Each 5+ lb. font is boxed for easy shipping.
