Summary : GFS Solomos, a 19th century italic Greek font family
URL : http://www.greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/typefaces/19th_century
License : OFL
Description : From the middle of the 19th century an italic font with many calligraphic
: overtones was introduced into Greek printing. Its source is unknown, but it
: almost certainly was the product of a German or Italian foundry. In the first
: type specimen printed in Greece by the type cutter K. Miliadis (1850), the font
: was listed anonymously along others of 11pts and in the Gr. Doumas’ undated
: specimen appeared as “11pt Greek inclined”. For most of the second half of the
: century the type was used extensively as an italic for emphasis in words,
: sentences or excerpts. In 1889, the folio size Type Specimen of Anestis
: Konstantinidis’ publishing, printing and type founding establishment also
: included the type as “Greek inclined [9 & 12 pt]”.
:
: Nevertheless, the excessively calligraphic style of the characters, combined
: with the steep and uncomfortable obliqueness of the capitals, was out of
: favor in the 20th century and the type did not survive the conformity of the
: mechanical type cutting and casting.
:
: The font has been digitally revived, as part of our typographic tradition, by
: George D. Matthiopoulos and is part of GFS’ type library under the name GFS
: Solomos, in commemoration of the great Greek poet of the 19th century,
: Dionisios Solomos.
