Amerbach 883 is a wonderful combination of Majuscules that are really fancifully cut and miniscules that are subtly more round and friendly looking than many other styles of blackerletter type.
Johann Amerbach was a very successful printer in the city of Basil, Switzerland. He maintained an extensive network of scholars and issued over a 100 works during his 35 years in the business.
He is notable for printing works of the church fathers and also for spreading the use of Antiqua fonts in the German speaking lands.
