1546 Poliphile was released by GLC. 1546 Poliphile contains 2 designs and household package alternatives. p > This family was influenced from the French edition of Hypnerotomachie de Poliphile (' The Strife of Love in a Dream') credited to Francesco Colonna, 1467 printed in 1546 in Paris by Jacques Kerver. He was utilizing a Garamond set (take a look at our 1592 GLC Garamond), consisting of two styles: Normal and Italic (Typical carved by Claude Garamond, Italic we don't know; it was an Italic pattern very often in use in Paris at that time).

We have customized the slant angle of the Capitals used with Italics because the Normal capitals were utilized in both styles in the initial. Today font consists of all of the specific latin abbreviations and ligatures utilized in this edition (with a couple of distinctions in between the 2 styles). Added are the accented characters and a few others not in use in this early period of printing.

Decorated letters such as 1512 Initials, 1550 Arabesques, 1565 Venetian, or 1584 Rinceau can be used with this household without metachronism.
