P22 announces Mayflower Smooth Pro- the latest font designed by Ted
Staunton for the Sherwood Type Collection.

The Mayflower font was originally designed by Ted Staunton in 2002 for the
Sherwood Collection of fonts. Mayflower is a classical Roman font taken
from a Bible of 1610, the edition likely carried to America by the pilgrims
on the Mayflower. True to the original source, Mayflower featured a
distressed look to simulate the appearance of inked metal type. Mayflower
Smooth Pro lacks the inked look and is ideal for cleaner design
applications and letterpress work. Both styles are evocative of
early-Colonial type styles.

Mayflower Smooth Pro features Small Caps, ligatures, fractions, historical
forms and ligatures, Central European characters, discretionary ligatures,
old style figures, lining figures and ornaments.

Introductory offer through May 31st
