1456 Gutenberg B42 Pro Font

Publisher: GLC Foundry

Is it necessary to tell the Gutenberg story?

" 1456 Gutenberg Pro" is the 2nd Gutenberg typeface produced by GLC foundry (look at our "1456 Gutenberg").
This real font was developed influenced from the so called "B42" character set used for the 2 Gutenberg Latin Bibles (42 and 36 lines), however with a better and fine style than in our first version, more faithful to the finest initial printed books appearence. We provide also now a bigger choice of the original ligatures and Latin abbreviations, as total as possible to be usable with OTF specifications.

The complete fundamental alphabet (with "long s" naturelly) is stricly appearing like the real one (including the curious twisted "X"). We have actually only recreated the capitals W and J, who was not existing in the time. The numerals, say goodbye to existing in the original type set, were influenced from those in usage a couple of years later by early list below printers, but matching with the Gutenberg font's pattern.

The font enclosed West (including Celtic), East, Central European, Baltic and Turkish glyphs.
