The American calligrapher and type designer Alan Blackman created Galahad™ in 1994. Galahad is a sans serif font with a calligraphic flair particularly suited for displays, although its open geometric forms make it a good choice for shorter texts as well. Galahad also includes old style figures and alternate characters, making it a very flexible font.
Galahad is part of the Linotype Library.

Font Designer: Alan A. Blackman, 1994
Galahad™, designed 1994 by well-known San Franciscan calligrapher Alan A. Blackman, represents one of his signature styles.
The name comes from Sir Galahad, son of Sir Lancelot and knight of the Round Table at King Arthur's court.
As a sans serif font with a calligraphic flair, it is mainly for display use but with its geometrical open forms shorter texts at smaller point sizes can also be set with it.
The stamp collector Alan Blackman collects the treasured items in his own unique way: he sends mail to his home from all over the world with the beautiful and unusual stamps he finds on his travels. And as he is a calligrapher as well, he also takes care that the writing on the envelopes is as beautiful as the stamps he collects. Following is a sample of the ’Letter Artworks’ of Alan Blackman.
