I'm not often around here, but while I'm at it, please accept my heartfelt thanks, for clearing up a mystery that has bothered me for years.

Sometime in the first half of the last decade. I downloaded a font called "gamme" from a Japanese free font website (Kivart ?). When I revisited the site some years later, that font was gone. Assuming therefore that the "gamme" font had been a rip-off of some pay font, I spent lots and lots of time searching for the original, and always came up empty-handed.

I'm definitely happy now...!

This font named Magnificat doesn't seem to mention a designer. In other sites the "designer"is only identified as "Flanker".

The font was designed in 1973 by Friedrich Peter and was a 2nd place winner of the International Typeface Competition. I really resent it when designers are not given proper mention and are often co opted by others who promote thse designs including fonts, as their design.

Agree with Graphicai! This is a faulty and uncredited revival of the Letraset original. More info: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/39232/magnificat
