"There can be only one..."

ITC Highlander

ITC Highlander was designed by David Farey and released in 1993. Highlander is a tribute to the Cooper typeface, designed by early 20th century American typeface designer and lettering artist Oswald Cooper. Farey, a long time fan of Cooper, modeled this sans-serif typeface in the handlettering style of the Cooper typeface. While Oswald Cooper never released a sans-serif typeface, there were sans-serif letterforms used in a number of lettering exercises that he produced, which Farey also drew upon in his designing of ITC Highlander.
