Summary : GFS Jackson, a majuscule Greek font family
URL : http://www.greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/typefaces/majuscule
License : OFL
Description : As it is known, the Greek alphabet was used in majuscule form for over a
: millennium before the minuscule letters gradually replaced it until they became
: the official script in the 9th century A.D. Thereafter, majuscule letters were
: confined to sparse use as initials or elaborate titles until the Italian
: Renaissance.
:
: The new art of Typography, as well as the need of the humanists to mimic the
: ancient Greco-Roman period brought back the extensive use of the majuscule
: letter-forms in both Latin and Greek typography. Greek books of the time were
: printed using the contemporary Byzantine hand with which they combined capital
: letters modeled on the Roman antiquity, i.e. with thick and thin strokes and
: serifs. At the same time the Byzantine majuscule tradition, principally used on
: theological editions, remained alive until the early 19th century.
:
: GFS Jackson is an edition of the font cut, in 1788, by Joseph Jackson on
: commission by the Cambridge University in preparation of the edition of the
: Beza codex containing the New Testament from the 5th-6th century. Theodore
: Beza was the erudite scholar from Geneva who had given the codex as a gift to
: the University in 1581.
:
: It has been designed by George D. Matthiopoulos.
