Calligraphy has long been neglected by many professional typographers, but the Type Directors Show suggests that “Lettering” is an important discipline in the field of typography in the United States. The number of fonts inspired by handwriting is growing along with the interest in calligraphy. Linotype presents here a look into the world of calligraphy, written by the internationally known expert, Gottfried Pott. Gottfried Pott Gottfried Pott, born 1939, studied graphic design [...]
Gottfried Pott is an excellent expert in calligraphic handwriting. He designed famous fonts for Linotype and is author of numerous publications. More about the fonts: Arioso™ Arioso stems from an early form of Old Face, developed during the 14th and 15th centuries in Italy. The style mixed Roman capital letter forms with Carolingian minuscule for the lower case. This combination puts it in the same basic family as many other Italic Chancery typefaces, like Hermann Zapf's ITC Zapf [...]

The phenomenon of the art of lettering has been with us since the very beginning of writing. This surely comes from the desire to express the content of the text in a very specific way. Each era has had its own forms of artistic expression, and so it is with lettering. The art of lettering is the art of “subtle” notes, as in chamber music, for example, where the fine, in-between notes also become audible or visible. Emanating from England prior to and at the beginning of the 20th [...]
Old English Value Pack for instant download available Blackletter typefaces evolved out of Northern Europe's medieval manuscript tradition. Grouped into four sub-families (Textura, Fraktur, Bastarda, and Rotunda), this style of type is characterized by the wide-nibbed pen strokes that are make its letterforms.

About Duc de Berry™ Roman ...

Linotype usage sample for Duc de Berry™ Std Roman
Designer: Gottfried Pott, 1990
Duc de Berry™ Roman belongs to the Duc de Berry™ Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
Duc de Berry font is a part of the 1990 program "Type before Gutenberg", which included the work of twelve contemporary font designers and represented styles from across the ages. The design of Duc de Berry was influenced by those of typefaces created between the 13th and 16th centuries. The font was named after Duc de Berry, whose beautiful missals inspired typefaces of the 15th century. The capital letters are especially elegant and can be used either as initials or as contrast to the much more reserved lower case letters.
