█ (RELEASE NOTES) ██ █
█ ▓▓ ██ █
█ ██ Originally drawn by Monotype in 1929, the Bembo design was ██ █
█ ██ inspired by the types cut by Francesco Griffo and used by ██ █
█ ██ Aldus Manutius in 1495 to print Cardinal BemboÆs tract ██ █
█ ██ "de Aetna". A beautiful design with tall ascending lowercase ██ █
█ ██ and elegant letterforms, Bembo has been a favourite for book ██ █
█ ██ setting for over 70 years. No italic was used in the Aldine ██ █
█ ██ "de Aetna" work so another source was needed. This was found ██ █
█ ██ in a publication by the writing master, Giovantonio Tagliente, ██ █
█ ██ produced in Venice circa 1524. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Considered by many to be one of Stanley MorisonÆs finest ██ █
█ ██ achievements during his tenure as Typographical Advisor to ██ █
█ ██ the Monotype Corporation, Bembo has consistently been a best ██ █
█ ██ selling typeface, both in its original hot metal form and in ██ █
█ ██ todayÆs digital formats. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Not intended to be a facsimile of ManutiusÆ work, Bembo was ██ █
█ ██ drawn to embody the elegance and fine design features of the ██ █
█ ██ original but marry them with the consistency of contemporary ██ █
█ ██ production methods and to ensure that the typeface would work ██ █
█ ██ satisfactorily with high speed printing techniques. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ The first phototypesetting and digital versions were based on ██ █
█ ██ hot metal nine point drawings. This gave good legibility in ██ █
█ ██ small sizes, due to a comparatively large æxÆ height, but ██ █
█ ██ lacked some of the elegance present in larger hot metal sizes. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ This new digital version of Bembo, called Bembo Book, has been ██ █
█ ██ designed to be more suited to text setting in the size range ██ █
█ ██ from 10 point to 18 point. Based on the hot metal 10/18 point ██ █
█ ██ drawings, which were used to cut all sizes from 10 point to ██ █
█ ██ 24 point, this new face has been carefully drawn to produce ██ █
█ ██ similar results to those achieved from the hot metal version ██ █
█ ██ when letterpress printed. The project started in 2002 when a ██ █
█ ██ high quality UK printing house asked for a digital version of ██ █
█ ██ Bembo which would give a similar appearance on the page to ██ █
█ ██ the 13 point hot metal they were currently using. Hot metal ██ █
█ ██ drawings were digitised and extensive editing was carried out ██ █
█ ██ on the resultant outlines to ensure that design features and ██ █
█ ██ overall colour from the digital output remained close to that ██ █
█ ██ of the letterpress product. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ The resultant typeface is slightly narrower than existing ██ █
█ ██ digital versions of Bembo, it is a little more economical in ██ █
█ ██ use and gives excellent colour to continuous pages of text. ██ █
█ ██ Ascending lowercase letters are noticeably taller than ██ █
█ ██ capitals, giving an elegant, refined look to the text. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Available in regular and bold weights with complementary ██ █
█ ██ italics, each font has both lining and old style numerals ██ █
█ ██ with small capitals available for roman and bold roman fonts. ██ █
