Joos Lambrecht, from Ghent, is one of the very first essential printers and punchcutters of the 16th century. He criticized frankly the reading habits and the typographical choices of the Dutch and Flemish readers at that time. Lambrecht cut many roman types which he attempted to disperse to other printers, but also an exceptional upright italic of which he was the only user. It is this italic which inspired the Joos typeface.
