Summary : GFS Göschen, a 19th century neoclassical cursive Greek font family

License : OFL
Description : Georg Joachim Göschen founded in 1782 the publishing house of G.J.
: Göschensche Verlagsbuchhandlung in Leipzig and was one of the most active
: publishers of the period in Germany. Göschen was very interested in
: typography, influenced by the fame and quality of the editions of G. Bodoni
: and F. Didot.
:
: In 1797, he collaborated with the leading scholar of the period, Johann Jakob
: Griesbach, to edit and publish the New Testament in Greek for which he formed
: a committee of scholars to decide the new Greek type which were eventually
: cut by Johann Prillwitz. The book appeared in 1803 and the types show many
: influences from the Greek types of Bodoni. Their characteristic was the
: neoclassical form of marked contrast between thick and thin strokes, the
: cursive style and the large size of the font.
:
: The design was too cumbersome to allow general use and can be considered
: successful only for its indirect influence on the later cut Greek Leipzig
: type. It is, however, part of the greater heritage of Greek type design and
: therefore the type has been digitized by George D. Matthiopoulos in 2009 and
: is part of GFS’ type library under the name GFS Göschen cursive, in
: commemoration of the great German publisher.
