A rare contemporary sighting of the Abbey Scroll typeface. Looks like the typeface was set using scans/images of the face rather than being typeset as there is currently no digital version of this face available.

The cover was art directed by the musician behind the band Drugdealer, Michael Collins, together with designer Teddy Rollins.

  1. I’m told you can get a digital version under the name Abbey Scroll on Daylight Fonts.

  2. Or maybe not. I don’t see a download link.

  3. Right – Shin Oka of Daylight Fonts is an avid collector of typefaces, and kindly shares his finds on the website. While he does offer digital fonts, too, Abbey Scroll is not among those.
