About Schoensperger Der Altere Font Family


Johann Schönsperger der Ältere was a the printer in Augsburg Germany during the last 20 years of the 15th century. He printed several editions of a pre-Luther bible. This particular font is interesting in that it was used by the first female printer, Anna Rügerin, who was Johann’s sister. The exemplar for this font is GTF 1:120G, and was used in her edition of Eike of Repgow’s Sachsenspiegel.

About Proportional Lime

Proportional Lime Type Foundry is a second floor operation that is overrun with a bird, cats, and unpleasant levels of heat, some of which is generated by the obsolescent machinery, and the rest enforced by the laws of thermodynamics. The bird owns the cats. And the cats own the humans. However, even considering the aggressive nature of the bird's endless commentary, and the cat's intermittent proofreading sessions, work is still routinely accomplished, and the goal of creating historically influenced typefaces achieved. We at PLTF desire to create typefaces that accurately recreate the feel of the old printing technologies for use in the modern world and also to explore novel designs.
