This displaced the ornate blackletter or Gothic types, which used to appear on most Renaissance printing.Ĭlaude’s designs were roman type based off of the fonts cut by engraver Francesco Griffo for Venetian printer Aldus Manutius. This type of lettering is what is called as ‘old-style’ because it replicates handwriting done with a pen, albeit with a more structured, upright appearance. Rather, it’s a group of serifs that were originally designed by 16th century engraver Claude Garamond.
