Font of the Week — Jenson


jenson-font-of-the-week

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!


Our Font of the Week images are created by Emily Clark, an Expert Production Artist at CustomInk and a self-declared font addict. Font of the Week fuels Emily’s passion to research and learn more about beloved typefaces like Jenson. What font should Emily feature next? Sound off in the comments below!
