Joos Italic
Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by steve
‘Joos is a revival of an upright italic created in 1536 in Gent. This work is not a formal revival but it faithfully fits into the scheme of Joos Lambrecht (punchcutter), which was to idealize roman types by bringing together the characteristic graceful shapes of italics and the angularity of romans.’
Not all Italics are slanted – they have their origins in calligraphy.
