The Telegdi is one of the most successful font families of IHOF and Fontanatype that has turned everything you have ever known about Baroque typefaces upside down. It can be used as text and as a display text. However, and now it is available as a web font. Telegdi Old Style™ is a font family inspired by the unique, historical character of Jesuit press letters in Nagyszombat. High contrast, thin serifs, sharp terminals, and large x-height are the key features for distinctive headlines. The whole family consists of 5+1 weights and real italics, small caps, swash caps glyphs, old-style, tabular figures, and fractions. It covers an extended Latin script. Every weight has almost 600 glyphs. Abbot Nicolaus Telegdi purchased the Vienna Jesuit press in 1577 and started to work immediately with its own worn-out typefaces. His first works were publications of his own speeches. The Telegdi typefaces evoke a historical feel, with their authentic, highly distressed style. Microsoft Typography News: We like “Telegdi Antique”, from Hungarian designer Amondo Szegi, please, no excuses for using Caslon Antique anymore.

The British Library is putting its treasury of medieval manuscripts online, starting with the most famous. To celebrate, here are some pages and details from the Lindisfarne Gospels. This masterpiece of Anglo-Saxon art was begun, our sources say, in 698 by Eadfrith, bishop of Lindisfarne (d. 721?). The text has Old English glosses added by Aldred, provost of Chester-le-Street (fl. c. 970). The decoration was done sometime in between by more than one person, possibly over a period of decades.

Psalters were the primary prayerbooks used during the early medieval period. King David was commonly believed to have composed the psalms of the Old Testament that make up the Psalter. Here, David is seated within the initial “B” of Psalm 1, which begins “Beatus vir” (Blessed is the man). He is depicted as a musician plucking his psaltery, a stringed instrument after which the “Psalter” is named. This late twelfth- or early thirteenth-century Psalter was made for a woman, and is of Premonstratensian use. Created and used in Rhineland, Germany, it remained there until the French Revolution, after which it was eventually acquired by the English book collector Sir Thomas Phillipps. The Psalter is liturgical, and therefore has eight divisions for the liturgical week, as well as the more typical three-part divisions. Each of these major psalms is marked by large and lively initials. Early added prayers on the first and last blank pages, as well as occasional marginal prayers and notes in a variety of hands, attest to the manuscript's use through time.
