Andron 2 EIR Corpus was designed by Andreas Stötzner and published by SIAS. Andron 2 EIR Corpus contains 5 styles and family package options.  

SIAS opens a new chapter in Irish vernacular typography: the Andron-2-Irish font family. The genes of the insular typographic heritage have been blended with the timeless classical style of the versatile Andron series. Whereas most Irish-style fonts available more or less stick to ancient designs, Andron-2-EIR is different: it's an entirely new design in which Irishness meets the beauty of a matured Venetian Roman text face.

Envision a new horizon for setting Irish text in its own visual mode! Now you can utilize Italics, Semibold and Small capitals for Irish just as you have been doing in other languages for a long time. But the icing on the cake is the fifth font: Andron Irish Middlecase honours the rich medieval tradition of Ireland by a special uncial-style glyph set. It corresponds to the Andron MC series.

Last but not least the Irish type connoisseur will relish this font package for it's unique utilization of Opentype functionality. In Opentype-aware applications, by just ticking a box you can switch to the special insular forms of s and r. By ticking another box you can transform the text from modern-day orthography to the traditional spelling with lenited consonants. This built-in intelligence has never been implemented in any Irish font before.

Briefly, the Opentype substitution features are:

[Ligatures] – default basic f-ligatures;

[Descretionary Ligatures] – more ligatures for typographic reason, mainly t- and long-s-combinations;

[Style set 1] – turns all lowercase r and s into their insular glyph variants;

[Style set 2] – replaces all consonant-h digraphs by dotted consonants (ḃċḋḟġṁṗṡẛṫ, ḂĊḊḞĠṀṖṠṪ), works for lowercase, uppercase and upper-lowercase alike;

[Style set 3] – provides another range of additional special ligatures (for Regular and Italic only);

[Oldstyle figures] – turns the default lining figures into proportional oldstyle figures.

Andron Irish will also perfectly combine with every other Andron product in mixed settings. For an overview please go to the SIAS main page. For a quick reference go to Andron Latin, Andron Greek, Andron English or Andron MC.

For more wonderful new Irish fonts look at Hibernica and Ardagh!
