DESIGNER: Brian Willson

Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar had an exotic name for a historic Texan, but he left his mark beginning in 1836, the year of Texas independence. Lamar went on to become the young republic's first vice-president (to President Houston) and second president—and to author a number of interesting letters in his elegant, stylish hand. (Mirabeau B. Lamar grew up a well-to-do southerner from Georgia, and his penmanship shows it.) One of the most interesting aspects of designing old handwriting fonts, to me, is pausing to reflect on the actual moment that the letter-writer is sitting at his or her desk or table, pen in hand, putting thoughts to words—150 to 200 years ago. Lamar Pen is the latest in our Texas Heroes historical script collection. Has a complete character set, and plenty more.
