Download 1543 Humane Jenson Font Family
In 1543 the well-known De humani corporis fabrica treatise on anatomy by Andr Vesale, was printed by Johann Oporinus in Basel (Switzerland). Various typefaces were used for this work, mostly in Latin but including Greek characters.
Its Jenson-type font was the one which inspired this font. It is a very elegant one, including the long s, a few abbreviation forms and ligatures. As it was a Latin text, there were no accented characters and a few capitals were absent.
I had to reconstruct them.
A render sheet, in the font file, makes all characters easy to identify on the keyboard. More…
and anything else you want! One of the most elegant types ever cut, it stands up very well to enlargement, remaining as readable as in its original small size.
