- The original version of this typeface was drawn by Robert Granjon
- (active in the latter half of the 16th century---he also designed
- a number of typographic ornaments that have become standard in
- typography). It is a typographic rendering of the gothic hand
- 'batarde'. This version is based on Louis Ferrand's ATF version of
- Civilite. There are also versions by Deberny et Peignot, and
- Enschede (both with a much more gothic character to them).
- Variations on this typeface include Ilse Schuele's 'Rhapsody', and
- Schneidler's 'Legend'. Morris Benton designed Typo Upright (also
- called Linoscript) which is based on the later development of
- Civilite.
-
- The type is best used in sizes 18-60pt (the original on which this
- working is based is 48pt).
