Shannon Font Family was designed by Janice Prescott, Kris Holmes and published by Monotype. Shannon contains 4 styles and family package options. The Book of Kells is a handwritten Irish text which dates back to the 8th century. Kris Holmes and Janice Prescott digitalized some letters from this book and some from a Grotesk font in the style of Frutiger. A computer filled in the blanks and the designers then gave the font its finishing touches by hand.
