1751 GLC Copperplate Family Font

This family was created inspired from an engraved plate from the Diderot & Dalembert’s Encyclopedia (publication beginning in 1751), illustrating the chapter devoted to the letters engraving technics. The plate bears two engraver’s names : “Aubin” (may be one of the four St Aubin brothers ?)and “Benard” ( which name is present bellow all plates of the Encyclopedia printed in Geneva ). It seems to be a transitional type, but different from Fournier (“1786 GLC Fournier”) or Granjean.

Small caps are included in fonts for TTF and OTF version, separate files are included in the family sets of the MacTT version.
