Professor Regular

My father, Leslie Willson, had a long, distinguished career as a professor of Germanic languages—with a special interest in contemporary German arts and letters. (His DIMENSION literary magazine, 1968–1994, is famous in the field.) About the time he retired from teaching, he also retired from writing in longhand after I turned his legible script into a digital typeface. Professor is a slightly modified version of my father’s cursive hand, a good, strong, helpful, friendly, personable hand—much like the man himself. OpenType features include numerous ligatures that more closely match authentic cursive script, as well as support for Central and Eastern European Languages.
