What You Can Type With Morris Roman

You get every letter from A to Z in both cases and all the numbers from 0 to 9, which means Morris Roman can handle full sentences, dates and prices. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

Where Morris Roman Works Best

Morris Roman is a natural fit for St. Patrick's Day cards, Irish pub signs and fantasy titles. Its heavy strokes stay readable from a distance and on top of photos, which suits signs, thumbnails and posters. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Green, gold and parchment textures bring out its Celtic style. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
