Overview
IM Fell Great Primer is a serif font family designed to echo the historic Fell Types used by the University of Oxford's printing house. These types date back to the 17th century and were developed under the direction of John Fell, a bishop and dean who emphasized quality in English letterforms. The typeface captures the character of the Great Primer Roman and Italic sizes cut by Peter De Walpergen, a type-founder active in the late 1600s. Its design conveys a sense of tradition and learned elegance, making it appropriate for literary and academic contexts.
