Tisdall Script is based upon the brush-drawn script lettering of Hans Tisdall, who was the designer of many distinctive lettered book jackets for Jonathan Cape in the 1950s.

Michael Harvey, also a designer of lettered book jackets, has long admired Tisdall’s style and now, with the blessing of his widow, designed this typographic tribute.

Tisdall script has a character set which includes many alternative ligatures and letterforms to enhance the liveliness of set text.
