Algerian

Algerian is a decorative serif font family originally produced in the early 20th century by British foundry Stephenson, Blake & Co. The design for the typeface is owned by Linotype, while the name is a trademark of the International Typeface Corporation. Algerian appears in the Stephenson, Blake & Co. 1907 type specimen book on page 142, with the Algerian font as used today as the small caps lowercase to a more decorative uppercase set of initials. The solid black version of Algerian appears on the same page under the name of Gloria, with a separate shadow layer face available. Algerian (regular) was created for Scangraphic at Letraset. Algerian Condensed was created by the Linotype library designer Alan Meeks. URW's version of the Algerian font was one of the default fonts supplied with Microsoft Office from 1993 onwards, and has been characterised as an overused font.
