Summary : GFS Porson, a 19th century Greek font family
URL : http://www.greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/typefaces/19th_century
License : OFL
Description : In England, during the 1790’s, Cambridge University Press decided to procure a
: new set of Greek types. The university’s great scholar of Classics, Richard
: Porson was asked to produce a typeface based on his handsome handwriting and
: Richard Austin was commissioned to cut the types. The type was completed in
: 1808, after the untimely death of Porson the previous year. Its success was
: immediate and since then the classical editions in Great Britain and the
: U.S.A. use it, almost invariably.
:
: In 1913, Monotype released the typeface with some corrections, notably
: replacing the upright capitals suggested by Porson with inclined ones. In
: Greece the typeface was used under the name Pelasgika type.
:
: GFS Porson is based on the Monotype version, though using upright capitals, as
: in the original.
