1456 Gutenberg
Font designed from that used by Gutenberg in Mayence to print the 42-line bible in 1456.
The original font has too many characters for a true type font. Many of them have - in 2008 - no more utility. This font include “long s”, naturally, as typicaly medieval, but also a lot of ligatures and abbreviations as “...us”, “...rum” "...s" “...r...”. A render sheet, added, help to identify them on keyboard.
Uses include web-site titles, posters and flier designs, editing ancient texts or greeting cards as a very decorative font... This font support easily as enlargement as small size, remaining clear and easy to read.
