Gerard Leeu met his untimely end in a work related altercation. He was a notable printer in both the cities of Gouda and Antwerp dying in 1492. This font face is based on the "Die gesten of gheschienisse van romen" typeface circa 1481. It is both very legible and yet oddly archaic in flavor. This realization contains roughly 600 defined glyphs for use in our era.
