Torresanus is the revival of a Venetian type from 1484 based on Jenson’s Roman, designed as part of a workshop with Michele Patané and Riccardo Olocco at the University of Reading.
Original letterforms such as the R, e and z were kept as stylistic alternates, while more contemporary versions were designed for default typesetting.
Type design by Maria Fontenelle, Felix Kett, David Williams and Angel Kwong. Created as part of the MATD 18/19 in January, 2019.
