Graveur

Graveur is a type system with Display, Subhead and Small styles.

Graveur is a Renaissance text face based in the work of the French punchcutter Robert Granjon (1513-1589). Working on original artifacts kept in Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp, observation of his punches, matrices, and printed materials resulted in a extensive type family that tries to capture the overall style of Granjon rather than simply being a slavish copy of a particular source.

Started as my project at Expert Class in Type Design in Antwerp, Graveur has grown to become a typeface with four optical sizes and seven weights, plus italics and an ornaments font. With a huge character set and heavy use of OpenType features, Graveur will fit any of your Renaissance person needs.
