Filmotype Harvard was released in 1955 following the released of Filmotype Horizon the year prior at the request of customers looking for a wider version of Filmotype Horizon. This playful natural brush script was called on when a wider design application was required.

Filmotype Harvard was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character complement, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a gigantic complement of alternate characters and ligatures creating a genuine connecting hand painted look in dynamic OpenType format.
