AMBROSII
[work in progess] [typedesign – 2023]
Ambrosii is a typeface resulting from a revival project at École Estienne in Typography, under the guidance of Franck Jalleau. This year, we had the opportunity to study various books from the 16th century. Personally, I selected the Calepini dictionary. To begin the project, in teams of two, we analyzed the book and then delved into character design. Each participant focused either on the roman or italic style. In my case, I opted for the roman style. Following that, we initiated the project to redesign the typeface, digitize it.
I'm constantly upgrading the typeface, whether it's the character design, or even the addition of glyphs and oldstyle figures.
