ABOUT







Alexandra Dmitrieva

Moscow-based graphic designer. During her studies in 2015, she revived the Venetian typeface Cloister Lightface from a scan, which is described by McGrew as follows: Cloister Lightface was designed in 1919 [by ATF] but not cut until 1924, with Italic the following year. It is considered the most faithful reproduction of Jenson's original type [Eusebius]; substantially the same as Cloister Oldstyle but cut lighter to allow for the heavying which results from printing on rough or dampened papers with a strong impression, as was done in the fifteenth century.
