Summary : GFS Olga, a 20th century oblique Greek font family
URL : http://www.greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/typefaces/20th_21st_century
License : OFL
Description : In Greece the terms italic and oblique have the same meaning since they are
: borrowed from the Latin typographic practice without any real historical
: equivalent in Greek history. Until the end of the 19th century Greek typefaces
: were cut and cast independently, not as members of a font family. The
: mechanization of type cutting allowed the transformation of upright Greek
: typefaces to oblique designs. Nonetheless, the typesetting practice of a
: cursive Greek font to complement an upright one did not survive the 19th
: century.
:
: The experimental font GFS Olga (1995) attempts to revive this lost tradition.
: The typeface was designed and digitized by George Matthiopoulos, based on the
: historical Porson Greek type (1803) with the intention to be the companion of
: the upright GFS Didot font whenever there is a need for an italic alternative.
