Summary : GFS NeoHellenic, a 20th century round Greek font family

Description : The design of new Greek typefaces always followed the growing needs of the
: Classical Studies in the major European Universities. Furthermore, by the end
: of the 19th century bibliology had become an established section of Historical
: Studies, and, as John Bowman commented, the prevailing attitude was that Greek
: types should adhere to a lost idealized, yet undefined, Greekness of yore.
: Especially in Great Britain this tendency remained unchallenged in the first
: decades of the 20th century, both by Richard Proctor, curator of the incunabula
: section in the British Museum Library and his successor Victor Scholderer.
:
: In 1927, Scholderer, on behalf of the Society for the Promotion of Greek
: Studies, got involved in choosing and consulting the design and production of a
: Greek type called New Hellenic cut by the Lanston Monotype Corporation. He
: chose the revival of a round, and almost mono-line type which had first appeared
: in 1492 in the edition of Macrobius, ascribable to the printing shop of
: Giovanni Rosso (Joannes Rubeus) in Venice. New Hellenic was the only successful
: typeface in Great Britain after the introduction of Porson Greek well over a
: century before. The type, since to 1930’s, was also well received in Greece,
: albeit with a different design for Ksi and Omega.
:
: GFS digitized the typeface (1993-1994) funded by the Athens Archeological
: Society with the addition of a new set of epigraphical symbols. Later (2000)
: more weights were added (italic, bold and bold italic) as well as a Latin
: version.
