Description

This is revival of the 1913 typeface "Glass Antiqua" by "Genzsch & Heyse" found in the Taschen book "Type: A Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles, 1901-1938." A magnificent and unique design with a Jugenstile fleur, combining Slab Serif and Antiqua, plus elements of cursive calligraphy. It is suitable for any purpose, giving a text a retro feel and soft informal look. The character set is extended but the originals are carefully restored, and all are patiently spaced and kerned.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
