In the end of 1400's, in Lyon (France), was living Barthélémy Buatier, descendant from an abundant family of merchants. In the end of 1472, he engages a typographist from Liège (Belgium): Guillaume Le Roy. The first book originating from their printing shop was the "Compendium breve" (by Pope Innocent III.) using Blackletters "textura". Numerous books were following, many offen illustrated with wood sculpting. In 1483, to print a French translated "Eneide", they used a venetian "Rotunda" blackletter. Our font style was created motivated from this "Rotunda" set, with historical kinds and ligatures enhanced with accented letters and other characters not existing in the original.
