About LTC Jenson Font Family


Jenson Oldstyle was designed by J. W. Phinney of the Dickinson Type Foundry in 1893. Jenson is based on the 'Golden Type' designed by William Morris in 1890 for his private press editions under the imprint of the Kelmscott Press. The original digital Lanston version of this face included a companion Oblique. This remastered set instead features a true italic based on the 1893 ATF italic version as well as a newly digitized Jenson Heavyface based on Phinney's design of 1899. Jenson Italic Pro features alternate lowercase forms based on ATFs then contemporary Cushing Oldstyle Italic.

About Lanston Type Company

Lanston Type Co. has roots back to the original Lanston Monotype Company of 1887, founded by Tolbert Lanston when he invented the Monotype casting machine. LTC went through mixed fortunes and was sold several times before Gerald Giampa eventually purchased it. In 2004, P22 Type Foundry acquired LTC. The historically important collection includes the classic designs of Frederic W. Goudy and Sol Hess, along with newer types by such contemporary masters as Jim Rimmer, Dave Farey, and Gerald Giampa.
