About Colmcille® Bold Alternate ...

Linotype usage sample for Colmcille® Bold Alternate
Designer: Colm O'Lochlainn / Dara O'Lochlainn, 1936
Colmcille® Bold Alternate belongs to the Colmcille® Font Family which is part of the Monotype Originals.
Colmcille was designed by a Gaelic scholar, typographer and printer, and first released by Monotype for composition casting in 1936. The design intention was to provide a Gaelic looking type which worked well as a roman text face. The digital version of the Colmcille font family has been made in collaboration with the designer's son, Dara O Lochlainn. A number of changes have been made, including a new set of figures and the addition of a bold weight. Although originally designed as a text face, Colmcille can be used for advertisements, flyers, in fact wherever a touch of Gaelic charm is required.

Colmcille is a trademark of The Monotype Corporation registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.
