About Rapier™ Plain ...

Linotype usage sample for Rapier™ Std Plain
Designer: Martin Wait, 1989
Rapier™ Plain belongs to the Rapier™ Font Family which is part of the ITC Collection.
Rapier, designed by Martin Wait for ITC in 1989, is an impulsive, energetic script font with strong ties to the brush and advertisement typefaces of hte 1940s. The zestful capitals contrast with small, narrow lower case letters, lending the font its dynamism and liveliness. Desinger Wait reached the energetic, almost aggressive feel of Rapier with snappy base forms and especially with ascending strokes. For an optimal look it is advisable to set Rapier's forms near to one another, so that the ends of the strokes of one figure touch the beginning of the next. Rapier is best used for headlines and short texts.

Rapier is a trademark of International Typeface Corporation and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.
