   Description
In 1529, Geofroy Tory, French scholar, engraver, printer, publisher and poet, was publishing the well know so called "Champ Fleury", printed by Gilles de Gourmond, in Paris. It is a fully illustrated handbook where the author explain how to drawn Roman characters. The font used for the text - an Humane/Jenson type - was not a very beautiful one, but rough and ready, but the book is well known for its Capital letters designs. We are offering here the two complete historical type sets, and more : we have entirely redrawn the lacked letters : J, U and W, Eth, Lslash, Thorn and Oslash in the two initial forms. The text font "1529 Champ Fleury Regular" is now containing all characters for West European including Celtic , Baltic, East and Central European and Turkish language, and the Initial set "1529 Champ Fleury Init" is containing two complete alphabets, with a very great effort to be as close as possible to the original pictures.
