	Nicolas Jenson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicolaus Jenson (1420 - 1480) was a French engraver, typographer and printer who did most of his work in Venice.
		Type founder, punch cutter, printer and publisher, Nicolaus Jenson, who was born in Sommevoire, France, is esteemed as the creator of the first, model "Roman" typeface.
		In the years that follow, Jenson creates his first Roman typeface, which was deliberately constructed on the basis of typographical principles, apart from the old manuscript models.

		Nicolas Jenson, printer of Venice: his famous type designs and some comment upon the printing types of earlier printers.
		Jenson’s typefaces are famous for their clarity and simplicity in a time when overstated and ornamental fonts were the norm.
		A short time after his death, one of Jenson’s contemporaries wrote, “the quality and value of [Jenson’s] types is another marvel to relate, for it ought to be ascribed rather to divine inspiration than to human wit.” Pope Sixtus IV conferred the title of Count Palatine on Jenson, honoring him for his achievements.

		Jenson’s books, whether in his distinctive roman face or one of his other fonts, are valued for their typographic beauty as well as their scholarship.
		Jenson’s 1476 edition seems to be the first Bible printed with signatures, those precursors to page numbers that appear at the bottom right of the page, marking quires and helping printers keep the pages in order before binding.

	The Spherical World of 1472
		The book's printer, Nicolas Jenson, was appointed in 1458 by King Charles VII of France (Joan of Arc's Dauphin), to go to Mainz to learn the printing trade directly from Gutenberg.
		By the time Jenson had mastered the trade, his royal sponsor had died, and the new king was uninterested in the project.
		Jenson's 1472 Macrobius adhered to the conventions of earlier handwritten manuscripts by leaving blank rectangular areas to be filled in by illuminators at the beginning of each section (for fancy initial letters), and at various other locations where illustrations were needed.

	Internet Archive: Details: De civitate Dei
		A native of France, Nicolas Jenson was one of the most important printers operating in Venice in the fifteenth century.
		Between c.1470 and 1480, Jenson produced around 150 books including the 1475 printing of St. Augustine's "De Civitate Dei" or "The City of God." The quality of Jenson's books influenced greatly the revival of fine printing in Britain in the nineteenth century.
		The great British typographer Stanley Morison (1889-1967) once said that Jenson produced "the perfect book of the period." This digital copy from the John M. Kelly Library at St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto is the oldest volume in the Kelly library's collection.

		Nicolas Jenson's type first appeared in a book by Eusebius printed in 1470, and most authorities consider it undeniably one of the most beautiful typefaces ever designed in the five hundred years of printing.
		If Jenson were alive today, he would have to design multiple weights, widths, and many more characters than were in the original design.

		The famous roman type cut in Venice by Nicolas Jenson, and used in 1470 for his printing of the tract, De Evangelica Praeparatione, Eusebius, has usually been declared the seminal and definitive representative of a class of types known as Venetian Old Style.
		The Jenson type is thought to have been the primary model for types that immediately followed.
		Hallmarks of roman type design from the Incunabula period are blended with contemporary concerns for the optimal display of letterforms on computer screens.

		Jenson Classico is my interpretation of the types cut by Nicolas Jenson in 1470, historically the first oldstyle types ever.
		Since Jenson never made an italic I looked at the contemporary cancellaresca corsiva for inspiration, enriched by the examples in Giovanniantonio Tagliente's manual of lettering, and made an italic that works well with the roman.
		What I tried to achieve was a typeface that retains the roughness found in Jenson's prints.

		By 1472, Jenson had only been printing for two years.
		Even so, his roman type quickly became the model for what later came to be called Venetian oldstyle and was widely imitated.
		Though Jenson's type was soon superceded in popularity by those of Aldus and Garamond, it was revived again by William Morris in the late 19th century and became the model of choice for a number of private press printers.

		Designed around 1470 by Nicolas Jenson, this face adapts the miniscule letters used in calligraphic writing to the majuscule lettering used in inscriptions (and as seen in Gutenberg's publications) to produce what we know of as upper and lower case (modern terms taken from the location of the two drawers in the typesetter's case).
		Although bold face lettering wouldn't appear for nearly 400 years after this face was designed, this particular family does have four styles (roman, italic, bold and bold italic).
		Eusebius, De Evangelica Præparatione, I note that the leading is actually quite small, similar to what we use today with the typical largish x height faces.

		Eusebius of Cæsaria is not my favourite author, but the edition of his work that Nicolas Jenson printed in 1470 in Venice is still, in a physical sense, among my favourite books.
		As an example of pure, naked typography, it is firmly up to date.
		In some significant respects, we are still outpaced by Jenson, Miscomini, Griffo, Aldus, and other early typographers, who worked with no computers, no electric light, and no cappuccino five centuries ago.
