Janson™ Bold Italic was modeled on the types of seventeenth-century Hungarian punchcutter Nicolas (Mikl¢s) Kis, who trained in Amsterdam under Dutch punchcutter Dirck Voskens, circa 1680. This fine book face was named for Dutch printer Anton Janson, who, for many years, was mistakenly credited with originating the Kis designs. The original letterforms show minor inconsistencies that only add to the charm of this typeface. Janson Bold Italic's design quirks were lovingly integrated into Monotype's version, digitized by Patricia Saunders and Robin Nicholas and issued in 1985. Janson is beautiful and readable, and remains a favorite for classic text typography. Character Set: Latin-1
