Sabon™ Semibold, a lyrical text type released in 1967. The German Master Printers Association approached the Stempel foundry in the early 1960s with a request: they wanted a new typeface developed that would be identical on both Monotype and Linotype machines. Stempel's Walter Cunz commissioned esteemed German typographer Jan Tschichold to design a new rendition of Claude Garamond's classic roman letterforms. Tschichold responded with Sabon Semibold. This breakthrough design was named for Jacques Sabon, a sixteenth-century typefounder who introduced Garamond's romans to Frankfurt. Sabon's graceful italic was based on a face by French punchcutter Robert Granjon. Tschichold's clever revival resulted in an elegant and eminently usable book face. Sabon Semibold is a classic beauty, and will never disappoint in text typography. Character Set: Latin-1
