Augsburger2009 FONT Download

Augsburger2009 was designed by Shane Brandes and published by Proportional Lime. Augsburger2009 contains 1 style.  

This typeface was inspired strongly by one of Ernhardt Ratdolt's (1442-1528?) many beautiful typefaces.

Mr. Ratdolt was a printer from the city of Augsburg, who had also worked for several years as a printer in Venice. He made many advances in printing technique and technology, including the decorated title page.

Early books have a mysterious rhythm to the appearance of the text, due to small variances in letters caused by casting irregularities and ink transfer from the press. This supposed defect, which is present in this typeface, gives a pleasing effect when compared to the sterile regularity of modern printing technology.

This font has been released as version 2.0 with over two hundred additional characters and improved metrics.
