1456 Gutenberg Pro is the second Gutenberg typeface produced by GLC foundry (appearance at our 1456 Gutenberg).
This font was created from the so called 'B42' character set utilized for the two Gutenberg Latin Bibles (42 and 36 lines), however with a better and finer style than in our first version, more faithful to the finest initial printed books look. We offer also now a bigger choice of the initial ligatures and Latin abbreviations, as total as possible to be usable with OTF specifications.
The complete fundamental alphabet (with 'long s' naturally) is strictly appearing like the real one (consisting of the curious twisted 'X'). We have just recreated the capitals W and J, who was not existing in the time. The numerals, say goodbye to existing in the initial type set, were motivated from those in usage a few years later on by early list below printers, but matching with the Gutenberg font's pattern.
The typeface includes West (including Celtic), East, Central European, Baltic and Turkish glyphs.
