ABOUT

Joaquín Ibarra y Marín

Famous Spanish printer (b. Zaragoza, 1725, d. Madrid, 1785). He worked mostly in Madrid as a printer. He never cut type, but commissioned people such as Gil, Pradell, Rongel and Espinosa to cut it for him. Sandra Baldassarri, Ignacio Pulido and Francisco Serón at the University of Zaragoza are attempting to revive some typefaces used by Ibarra: see here and here for their 1993 revival of Ibarra, a typeface engraved by Antonio Espinosa de los Monteros in the 18th century (and used in Ibarra's 1772 book La conjuración de Catilina y la Guerra de Yugurta by Cayo Salustio).
