English Textura
English Textura is a blackletter typeface digitized by Hoefler&Frere-Jones reproduced, with all its idiosyncracies, from Sixteenth Century Printing Types of the Low Countries, by H. D. L. Vervliet and Harry Carter, Menno Herzberger&Co, Amsterdam, 1968. The original was cut by Henric Pieterszoon Lettersnijder, a Dutch letter cutter, some time before 1492, and became a dominant type for Dutch books in the decades to follow. Hoefler mentions that the brass "matrices" from which this type was cast still survive, in the collection of the Enschedé Museum in Haarlem. They may be the oldest set of matrices in the world. |
