Bembo Fonts and Typefaces

Monotype Bembo, issued in 1929, is based on the roman cut by Francesco Griffo for Cardinal Bembo’s tract “de Aetna” in 1495. It owes its beauty and legibility in all sizes to the well proportioned letterforms and clear detail. It has been carefully redrawn to capture the spirit and intention of the original. The result is a face of timeless beauty, making it very popular for text. The Bembo italic fonts were adapted from a face of Giovanni Tagliente (1524). These fonts have an easy, natural grace when used on their own, and are perfect companions to the roman fonts. Bembo is one of the most beautiful and distinctive typefaces and has been widely used for book text, advertising and display work over the last 60 years.

The new digital version of Bembo, called Bembo Book, has been designed to better suit setting text in the 10 to 18 point range. This new face has been carefully drawn to produce results comparable to those achieved from the letterpress version. Outlines were taken directly from the metal type drawings and digitized, then meticulously edited to preserve the design features and overall color of the original design.

Bembo Book is slightly narrower than existing digital versions of the face; this makes it more economical in use and gives excellent color to continuous pages of text. Ascending lowercase letters are noticeably taller than capitals, giving an elegant look to the design.
