Bembo 2

Type Foundry: Monotype

The origins of Bembo™ Font Family date back to the late fifteenth century, when artisans like Aldus Manutius and Francesco Griffo were creating work critical to the evolution of contemporary roman typography. One of the first Old Style typefaces, the original Bembo font was cut by Griffo, and used by Manutius in 1495 to print Cardinal Bembo's tract, 'De Aetna'. Monotype produced its Bembo in 1929 under the watchful eye of Stanley Morison. This twentieth-century Old Style font was closely based on Francesco Griffo's designs, which had no italics. Companion italics for the Bembo font were created from the work of Renaissance writing master Giovanni Tagliente. Bembo Font Family is a beautiful text face with classic style, and is very suitable for books, magazines, invitations, and other text applications. Bembo fonts are available in both Opentype (.otf) and TrueType (.ttf) font formats.
