Rongel

Spanish designer who created some typefaces that can be found in the Spanish catalogue Muestras de los Punzones y Matrices de Letra que se funde en el Obrador de la Imprenta Real, Madrid, Ano de 1799 and in Las Eroticas, y Traduccion de Boecio by Villegas and printed by António de Sancha in Madrid, 1774.

Mário Feliciano published the 14-weight Rongel serif family (2001, updated in 2005 as FTF Rongel V2), and I consider this Feliciano's best work. Feliciano states: [FTF Rongel is] an interpretation of the types showed in eighteenth century's Spanish catalogue: "Muestras de los Punzones y Matrices de Letra que se funde en el Obrador de la Imprenta Real, Madrid, Ano de 1799", and titled with the name Rongel, whom I suppose, cut them. Another example of these types can be found in "Las Eroticas, y Traduccion de Boecio" by Villegas and printed by António de Sancha in Madrid, 1774.
