Pierre Haultin
French engraver and punchcutter who worked with Paulo Manucius from 1588 on, and who was commissioned to create a typeface for the Vatican. He cooperated with Granjon. Although he cut roman and Greek types, he was mmainly known for vhis music types---for example, he started using musical notes with parts of lines attached to make a second impression unnecessary. Mark van Bronkhorst writes about his MVB Verdigris font: MVB Verdigris is a Garalde text typeface for the digital age. Inspired by the work of 16th-century punchcutters Robert Granjon (roman) and Pierre Haultin (italic), Verdigris celebrates tradition but is not beholden to it. Fred Smeijers designed a (private, unreleased) typeface, Haultin, based on one of Haultin's types. The second edition of his book Counterpunch (2011) was set in it. |
