Description
Bembo's origins date back to the late fifteenth century, when artisans like Aldus Manutius and Francesco Griffo were producing work critical to the evolution of contemporary roman typography. One of the first Old Style typefaces, the original Bembo was cut by Griffo, and used by Manutius in 1495 to print Cardinal Bembo's tract, De Aetna. Monotype created its Bembo in 1929 under the watchful eye of Stanley Morison. This twentieth-century Old Style was closely based on Griffo's designs, which had no italics. Companion italics for Bembo were created from the work of Renaissance writing master Giovanni Tagliente. Bembo is a beautiful text face with classic style, and is a favorite for books, magazines, invitations, and other text applications.
