3 collections of calligraphic typefaces of yesterday for the typographer of today
Using the slogan "Type before Gutenberg" well-known calligraphers had been invited to design historical original handwritten fonts for modern typesetting.
3 collections are now available entitled "Type before Gutenberg" which contain fonts from different ages before Gutenberg.
The fonts from Type before Gutenberg 3:
Notre Dame™ regular, Notre Dame regular DFR, Notre Dame Ornaments
Notre Dame font was designed by Karlgeorg Hoefer, who was inspired by the structure of forms once used mainly for liturgical purposes. Digital techniques made it possible to add Gothic ornaments and borders to the font, perfect for designing anything which should have a late Gothic feel.
Notre Dame regular DFR contains the DFR layout (Deutsche Fraktur) which includes historic ligatures and a long s.
Pompeijana™ and Pompeijana Borders
Pompeijana from Adrian Frutiger is named after Pompeii, one of the ancient Roman cities destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Excavations of the well-preserved ruins at Pompeii revealed election notices written on city walls, and the typeface Pompeijana is based on this brisk writing. The decorative look of the alphabet is achieved by placing the emphasis on the top and foot of the letters, making heavy horizontals and diamond-shaped serifs. Frutiger added the Borders font, a set of ornaments that are true to the style of the alphabet. Pompeijana is a striking display face that speaks persuasively when combined with modern sans serif typefaces; try it on your next political poster, restaurant menu, or book cover.
Rusticana™ and Rusticana Borders
Rusticana’s historical roots go back to the Roman Capitalis; the engraved, all-cap writing of ancient Rome that reached its peak in the first century. From this style evolved other Roman forms, and this one was particularly good for text on bronze, as opposed to stone. With its chiseled and playfully geometric letterforms, Rusticana has an earthy, artisan-like appearance. Use it for display typography in magazines, invitations, and advertising. Rusticana also has a companion set of ornamental borders. Rusticana was designed by Adrian Frutiger.
