fonts-gfs-olga
ancient Greek oblique font revival (companion to GFS Didot)
In Greece the terms italic and oblique have the same meaning since
they are borrowed from the latin typographic practice without any
real historical equivalent in Greek history. Until the end of the
19th century Greek typefaces were cut and cast independently, not as
members of a typefamily. The mechanisation of typecutting allowed the
transformation of upright Greek typefaces to oblique designs.
Nonetheless, the typesetting practice of a cursive Greek font to
complement an upright one did not survive the 19th century. The
experimental font GFS Olga (1995) attempts to revive this lost
tradition. The typeface was designed and digitised by George
Matthiopoulos, based on the historical Porson Greek type (1803) with
the intention to be the companion of the upright GFS Didot font
whenever there is a need for an italic alternative.
fonts-gfs-solomos
ancient Greek oblique font
From the middle of the 19th century an italic font with many
calligraphic overtones was introduced into Greek printing. Its source
is unknown, but it almost certainly was the product of a German or
Italian foundry. In the first type specimen printed in Greece by the
typecutter K. Miliadis (1850), the font was listed anonymously along
others of 11pts and in the Gr. Doumas' undated specimen appeared as
«11pt Greek inclined». For most of the second half of the century the
type was used extensively as an italic for emphasis in words,
sentences or excerpts. In 1889, the folio size Type Specimen of
Anestis Konstantinidis' publishing, printing and type founding
establishment also included the type as «Greek inclined [9 & 12 pt]».
fonts-jura
typewrite like sans-serif font
This font remembers of a typewrite font without the serifs. The latin letters
assume pretty much of a "Swiss" feel, so the font was named after the Jura
region on the border between France and Switzerland.
