Theatrum

From Nonpareil Type

Theatrum Roman is based on the Petit Canon type cut by Guillaume II Le Bé in the sixteenth century (reproduced in A. Jammes, “Les premiers caractères de l’Imprimerie Royale” in Caractère Noël, 1957; and in Jan Tschichold’s Treasury of Alphabets and Lettering, 1966). The Italic is based on a characteristic and lively font cut by Robert Granjon in the sixteenth century — its energy contained within classical structure in the way Granjon’s italics characteristically are. This font family possesses classic letterforms with perhaps a bit more distinction and strength than the more common, highly refined types of Garamond, giving Theatrum a quiet presence on the page that rewards use in book work, fine printing, and editions where the type itself is meant to be noticed.
