Taking inspiration from 18th century handwritten letters, journals and documents, Memoir is a romantic yet robust design. Its textured profile speaks of surface and age, but this face will look very much at home in contemporary design. Useful for menus, cards, packaging, and logos, its versatility will prove its worth. Unlike signature fonts from that era, Memoir is designed to set in a manner that connects fluidly as if it were actually written.
Please Note: Memoir is designed for use in graphic applications with full OpenType support. Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Quark all have this. Photoshop and MS Word offer some support, but neither have a glyph palette which gives access to the full array of lettering possibilities. If you have both Illustrator and Photoshop it's easy to set type in Illustrator and copy it over to Photoshop.
