Lamar Pen gets its name from Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar, whose penmanship it’s modeled after. Lamar, born in Georgia in 1798, migrated in 1835 to Texas, where he supported—and the following year fought for—the then-Mexican province’s independence. He stuck around, too, becoming Texas’s first vice-president and second president.

Source materials included his 1835 journal (courtesy of Rice University) and letters dating from 1836 until 1847. A bold, legible face that demonstrates Lamar’s refined Southern roots, Lamar Pen has a medium-dark weight, an ample x-height, and an uppercase flourish or two. OpenType features include scores of ligatures, standard and contextual alternates, lining and tabular figures, ink blots, cross-outs, insertions, and Central/Eastern European language support.
