Summary : GFS Complutum, a 16th century Greek font family

Description : The ancient Greek alphabet evolved during the millennium of the Byzantine era
: from majuscule to minuscule form and gradually incorporated a wide array of
: ligatures, flourishes and other decorative nuances which defined its
: extravagant cursive character. Until the late 15th century, typographers who
: had to deal with Greek text avoided emulating this complicated hand; instead
: they would use only the twenty four letters of the alphabet separately, often
: without accents and other diacritics.
:
: A celebrated example is the type cut and cast for the typesetting of the New
: Testament in the so-called Complutensian Polyglot Bible (1512), edited by the
: Greek scholar, Demetrios Doukas. The type was cut by Arnaldo Guillén de Brocar
: and the whole edition was a commission by cardinal Francisco Ximénez, in the
: University of Alcalá (Complutum), Spain. It is one of the best and most
: representative models of this early tradition in Greek typography which was
: revived in the early 20th century by the eminent bibliographer of the British
: Library, Richard Proctor. A font named Otter Greek was cut in 1903 and a book
: was printed using the new type. The original type had no capitals so Proctor
: added his own, which were rather large and ill-fitted. The early death of
: Proctor, the big size of the font and the different aesthetic notions of the
: time were the reasons that Otter Greek was destined to oblivion, as a
: curiosity.
:
: Greek Font Society incorporated Brocar’s famous and distinctive type in the
: commemorative edition of Pindar’s Odes for the Athens Olympics (2004) and the
: type with a new set of capitals, revived digitally by George D. Matthiopoulos,
: is now available for general use.
