About Windsor

Windsor is a serif typeface created by Elisha Pechey (1831–1902) and released by the Stephenson Blake type foundry. It is intended for use such as display and in headings rather than for body text. Capitals M and W are widely splayed, P and R have very large upper bowls. The lowercase a, h, m and n of the Windsor font have angled right hand stems, e has an angled cross-stroke. Bitstream in their release notes to its digitisation call it "a creative variation on the old-style form".
