Andreas is a parish in the Sheading of Ayre and lies in the extreme north west of the Isle of Man. The parish stretches from the Lhen Moar four miles along the north-western coast to Bride; is north of Lezayre, east of Jurby and borders on the sea to the north from where the Scottish Southern Uplands and the Mull of Galloway can clearly be seen. Its area is about 15 square miles.

Andreas is a humanist serif typeface designed by Michael Harvey, and licensed from the Adobe Type library. Harvey drew the lettering in 1988 as part of the book-jacket design for James F. Peck's book In the Studios of Paris: William Bouguereau and His American Students, a Yale University Press publication.
