The very first book stemming from their print shop was the Compendium breve (by Pope Innocent III.) using Blackletter "textura".

Many books followed, frequently illustrated with wood carving. In 1483, to print a French equated "Eneide", they utilized a venetian "Rotunda" blackletter.

Our font style was motivated by this "Rotunda" set, with historic types and ligatures enhanced with accented letters and other characters not existing in the initial.
