jfs Fonts

John F Sherman is the founder of JFS Fonts, whose day job is teaching graphic design at the University of Notre Dame. A research interest of mine at Notre Dame is the life and work of Eric Gill. An outgrowth of this work is the first font design published by JFS Fonts titled Felicitas. Felicitas is an opentype font inspired by Eric Gill’s design for Perpetua introduced in 1929 by the Monotype Type Foundry.
