This family was created inspired from the Garamond patern set of fonts used by S. Millanges “imprimeur ordinaire du Roy”, in Bordeaux, circa 1580-1590. Especially for reprint L'instruction des curés (Instructions to parish priests), from Jean Gerson.
The set contains two styles, Normal and Italic, the second one with a lot of caps and ligatures variants.
The initials, except a few decorated letters (six in total) where only large caps, covering no more than three lines. Added are a few fleurons. More…
Its original cap height is about five millimeters. Decorated letters like 1512 Initials, 1550 Arabesques, 1565 Venetian, can be used with this family without anachronism.
