Little Character is a font made in tribute to LITT.CHR, a font developed by Philippe Khan and a graphic designer called Lisa at the Borland Software Corporation in 1986 and was the default font in Eagle from 1988 until 2017. Listen to a podcast that tells the whole story here.
Little Character was created by Astrid Bin in the spring of 2025. The font design is licensed under the SIL Open Font License (https://openfontlicense.org/).
If you are the Lisa who worked on this font in 1986, or know who Lisa is, please get in touch via the address at the top of the license file so a credit can be added to this document.
