This typeface is an attempt to use as a font style the popular magnificent Hans Holbein "Death Alphabet", very first published in 1523. We have actually tried to save as it was possible the spirit and look of the initial Initials set, extremely fine and enriched with detailed figures, attempting in the very same time to develop a font style not excessive complex to be functional; neverteless, the font files are heavy and, when utilized, the decorated initials may appear on screen a little more slowly than regular characters. (Minimum size recommanded: 96 pts)
.We are offering here two complete standard sets (no accented characters): Initials and capitals. We have actually rebuilded the done not have letters: J and U, Eth, Lslash, Thorn and Oslash.
The font may be utilized with all our Humane and Garalde typefaces, like "1543 Humane Jenson" or "1592 GLC Garamond" and others from the GLC foundry catalog.
