Konrad Berner: specimen characterum seu typorum latinorum
Creator
[Berner, Konrad, type designer, Granjon, Robert, active 1523-1588, Garamond, Claude, -1561]
Summary
The poster is a 1992 reproduction of the 1592 Konrad Berner type specimen. "[Berner] was the type founder who succeeded Jacques Sabon in 1580. He was the son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print office. His catalog of type specimens is dated 1592. The "Berner specimen" of 1592 formed the basis of the free Google Web Font family EB Garamond (or: Egelnoff-Berner Garamond) developed by Georg Duffner. In 1626, his foundry passed into the hands of Johann Luther. At the time, he was the main type supplier for Germany, the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands." -- Luc Devroye, Type Information Page, http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-42169.html
Specimen includes Antiqua and Kursiv by Claude Garamond and Robert Granjon.
Title
The Female Forme
Creator
Lynne Avadenka
Summary
Portfolio of prints made by Lynne Avadenka at RIT in Summer 2021. The prints were made using the vintage metal and wood type from the Cary Graphic Arts Collection.
Each print shows in red the Hebrew or Yiddish name of a Jewish women printer who worked in East Europe and Constantinople around the 15–19th centuries. The first name is set in bigger letters than the family name below it. The circular red text at the left is a part of the Hebrew Proverbs 31:13 "She works willingly with her hands", ותעש בחפץ כפיה. The single blue letter at the bottom right of each print composes this Hebrew sentence when all the prints are set one next to the other from right to left, the Hebrew language reading direction.
