The Indian Theatre
By:
- Synopsis
- This book is set in 14 pt. Aldine Bembo, a type-face modelled on the fifteenth-century letter first used by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius (1450-1515). Aldine Bembo was cut by Francesco Griffo of Bologna and was used for the first time in a small book by Pietro Bembo, entitled ‘De Aetna’. The original design is the earliest of the so-called Old Face types. In designing the face, Francesco Grijfo departed in several important particulars from earlier Venetian models. The ascending letters, b, d, f, h, and 1 are slightly higher than the capitals. The lower case c has a vertical stroke, a form now preponderant. The italic letters cut to be used with Aldine Bembo are based on the design of the calligrapher Lodovico degli Arrighi, called Vincentino, who became a printer in Rome from 152,3 to 1527. Aldine Bembo, as used in this book, is a revival by the Monotype Corporation from whose matrices it is cast.
