Leidener was designed by Jesus Barrientos and released by Talavera. Leidener contains 6 styles and household plan alternatives. p > This typeface family is inspired by printed work made by the Elzevir family back in the XVIIth century at Leiden (NL). They dealt with material from numerous type designers, however even more examinations sends us to the tracks of one in particular: Robert Granjon. Granjon italics were way ahead of his time, making some really stunning signs like swashy ampersands and minuscule v letters. This font style also consists of old style figures in the same style as they were printed, like the turned number 8 and open forms in 6 and 9. This is as much a revival as an original style, since of their weights vibrant and heavy (both with italics) that were motivated on some titles. In this font you can also find a great deal of ligatures, small caps, diacritics and even a fleuron for each weight and variation.

Leidener showed up from two books: Constantini Imperiatoris (1611) and Exercitationum Mathematicarum (1657 ), printed by Louis and John Elzevir on their Leiden Workshop, back then.
