Description

Old Man Eloquent simulates the handwriting of John Quincy Adams, the second President of The United States, in pages of his famous diary, circa 1810. Adams kept his diary from 1779, when he was a boy, until 1848, the year he died—a span of nearly 70 years. His dense, compact penmanship is quite legible and has a sort of scholarly feel to it.

The font’s name comes from an appellation Adams’s colleagues in Congress bestowed upon him in the years following his presidency for his long, masterful speeches opposing slavery. Old Man Eloquent has two styles, regular and bold, each with nearly 800 glyphs. OpenType features include alternate uppercase characters, numerous ligatures, old-style and lining figures, and support for Central/Eastern European languages.
