In 1499, Venetian Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius published a facsimile of the text of the 'Hypnerotomachia Poliphili' using a type cut by his contemporary, punchcutter Francesco Griffo. In the early 1920s, Monotype's Stanley Morison set out to revive the gifted Griffo's glorious historical types under the name Poliphilus™ Family. The design of the letterforms relates to Bembo, but rather than settle for a mere redrawing of that Old Style type, Poliphilus Family was crafted to emulate fifteenth-century printing on handmade paper -- ink spread and all. As italics were not normally created to accompany roman types during the Renaissance, Morison went in search of a suitable face that could be paired with the lovely roman. He settled on a design by calligrapher Ludovico degli Arrighi, which was modified and released in 1925 under the name Blado Italic. Blado has a slightly rough, antiqued appearance and charmingly unusual letterforms, bringing its Renaissance heritage into play. Blado and Poliphilus make a harmonious pair and are well-suited to text, especially when a handcrafted feel is desired. Character Set: Latin-1
