1557 Civilité Granjon was published by GLC. 1557 Civilité Granjon contains 1 style.  

Living from 1545 in Lyon, France, the famous punchcutter Robert Granjon created a typeface that looked like his own handwriting. The first book printed with this font, in 1557, was probably Dialogues de la vie et de la mort by Innocent Ringhier. We offer the complete typeface. It is a charming font with historical forms (long s, final s and others) and many ligatures, enriched with accented letters and other characters that did not exist in the original (thorn, eth, lslash and others), and a lot of alternates that permit rich and varying typography. Warning: all characters appear with the 1500s manual blackletter old style, especially letters "e" "r" or "h" alternate and some ending forms, and may be difficult to read at first, but it quickly becomes very easy.

The font contains all characters for Baltic, Western European (Including Celtic), Eastern European, Northern European, and Turkish languages.
