1543 Humane Jenson

by GLC Foundry · Website

1543 Humane Jenson is a textured old-style roman from GLC Foundry that recreates the slightly worn, inked-on-handmade-paper quality of mid-16th-century printing. The letterforms follow the humanist model pioneered by Nicolas Jenson, with warm proportions and organic stroke contrast, but the real character comes from the distressed edges and uneven impression that make each glyph feel genuinely pulled from an aging book. A natural choice for historical publications, antiquarian design, or anywhere you want Renaissance-era typographic flavor with authentic wear baked in.
