Algerian: The typeface

Various implementations of Stephenson and Blake's Algerian (1911) exist. Algerian is reminiscent of 19th century woodcut types and suggests the Victorian era. Modern versions were made by Philip Kelly at Letraset in 1968, and by Alan Meeks in 1988. In the early digital era, thee is a Letraset font, Algerian, and renamed early digital fonts OPTI Achilles (Castcraft) and Alfredo (SoftMaker). There are also Algerian [1994, URW++], Algerian Condensed [Linotype], Algerian Condensed [1988, Alan Meeks for ITC], Algerian EF [Elsner+Flake; based on Philip Kelly's version from 1968], Algerian Mesa [FontMesa], and Tavern [2017, FontMesa]. Tavern (2017), by Michael hagemann at FontMesa, is by far the most extensive collection of fonts. It includes every possible alternate glyph that ever existed for Algerian.
