Albertus is a glyphic, serif typeface designed by Berthold Wolpe in the period 1932 to 1940 for the Monotype Corporation type foundry. Wolpe named the font after Albertus Magnus, the thirteenth-century German philosopher and theologian. Wolpe studied as a metal engraver, and Albertus was modeled to resemble letters carved into bronze. The face began as titling capitals. Eventually a lowercase roman was added, and later a strongly cursive, narrow italic. Albertus has slight glyphic serifs. It is available in light and italic varieties. The project began in 1932. Titling caps were released first, and the Monotype Recorder of summer 1935 presented the capitals as an advance showing. Other characters and a lower case were added by 1940. == Characteristics == * In the uppercase M the middle strokes descend only partway, not reaching the baseline. * The uppercase U has a stem on the right side, evocative of lowercase. * Figures are lining. Wolpe later designed ''Pegasus'', a spiky serif design intended to complement Albertus for body text. It was never particularly popular and has not been released digitally. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albertus (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
