Minuet was developed by Penis Dooijes, Stefan Schlesinger, Hans van Maanen and published by Canada Type. Minuet consists of 4 styles and household plan choices. p > Minuet, a casual script with crossover deco components offering it an apparent 1940s taste, is a revival and growth of the Rondo household, the last typeface drawn by Stefan Schlesinger before his death.

This household was initially supposed to be a typeface based on the strong, streaming script Schlesinger liked to utilize in the ads he created, particularly the ones he did for Van Houten's cocoa products. But for technical reasons the Lettergieterij Amsterdam mandated the face to be made from unattached letters, instead of the original connected script.

Schlesinger and Dooijes completed the lowercase and the first illustrations of the uppercase prior to Schlesinger was sent to a prison camp in 1942. Dooijes finished the design on his own, and drew the vibrant according to Schlesigner's guidelines. The typeface household was ended up in February of 1944, and Schlesinger was killed in October of that exact same year. Though he did see and approve the final evidence, he never in fact saw his letters in usage. It took nearly four more years for the Lettergieterij Amsterdam to produce the typefaces. The typeface was formally announced in November of 1948, and right away ended up being a bestseller. By 1966, according to a memo from the foundry, the typeface had actually become "almost too popular".

This digital variation of Schlesigner's and Dooijes's work considerably expands on the metal typefaces. Both weights consist of a total set of lowercase alternates - based upon Schlesinger's own illustrations, as well as alternative variations for some of the capitals, a couple of ligatures, and extended language support covering Western, Eastern and Central European languages, plus Baltic, Celtic/Welsh, Esperanto, Maltese and Turkish.

Minuet is available in all popular formats. The OpenType version, Minuet Pro, makes the most of internal font shows to integrate the main and alternate typefaces into a file per weight, making all alternates and ligatures automatically offered at the push of a button in OpenType supporting programs.
