About Irish Grover

Irish Grover is a display typeface built from thick strokes that swell and taper as if cut with a knife. In the specimen no two neighbouring letters stand at quite the same angle: stems lean left and right, the baseline wobbles, and serifs appear as sharp wedges and curled hooks. The lowercase is compact, with a looped g and a small flag on r, while the capitals are wide and tightly set. The family is a single Regular file with 228 glyphs and a basic Latin character set. Sources differ on the credit: the catalogue lists Sideshow, the font's name table names Squid as designer, and the copyright line reads Font Diner, Inc. DBA Sideshow. Unlike most families in this collection, Irish Grover is published under the Apache License 2.0.
