Janson

Janson is an old-style serif typeface inspired by a set of Dutch Baroque typefaces. It is an even, regular design, particularly intended for body text.

Janson is based on surviving designs from Leipzig that were named for Anton Janson (1620–1687), a Leipzig-based printer and punch-cutter from the Netherlands who was believed to have created them. Research in the 1970s and early 1980s, however, concluded that the typeface was the work of Hungarian-Transylvanian priest and punchcutter, Miklós (Nicholas) Tótfalusi Kis (1650–1702)
