Font of the Week — Jenson
Perhaps one of the oldest fonts, Jenson is said to be the “first pure Roman Typeface”. It was originally created by Nicolas Jenson in 1470, but was given a revival by Ernst Detterer in 1923. Adobe Jenson, the font we’ve come to know and love, was born again in 1996 at the hands of Robert Slimbach. Jenson is known for it’s versatility, as it is looks great at any size!
