Publication Year: ca. 1470
Media Type: Books
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes:

A good early example of an emerging roman typeface. The letterform is not purely humanistic but rather a hybrid between gothic and roman. Note the lack of dots on the letter i. Also of interest are the periods and colons which are diamond shaped, similar to a pen made dot.
