An Architect of the Page : The Centaur

<<  >>

The Centaur is a landmark imprint in the history of twentieth-century type design. In this seminal publication, Bruce Rogers first showcased his most famous typeface, which he designed and cut as a revival of Nicholas Jenson’s fifteenth-century typefaces. The font, Centaur, is named after the publication.
