Ballard was designed by Shane Brandes and published by Proportional Lime. Ballard contains 6 styles and family package options.
This typeface was inspired by a font used by Henrie Ballard.
Ballard operated on Fleet Street at the Signe of the Bear in London, England. He was active in the industry from 1597-1608. The font is meant to capture the feel of the original typeface with the capability of reproducing the many ligatures that are part of what make that era’s printing interesting.
The Italic version has a dramatic feel that is almost handwritten in appearance. Every Proportional Lime font comes with a complete guide to its Unicode extended character set.
