Summary: GFS Gazis, an 18th century oblique Greek font family
Description:


During the whole of the 18th century the old tradition of using Greek types
designed to conform to the Byzantine cursive hand with many ligatures and
abbreviations a.. as it was originated by Aldus Manutius in Venice and
consolidated by Claude Garamont (Grecs du Roy) a.. was still much in practice,
although clearly on the wane.

GFS Gazis is a typical German example of this practice as it appeared at the
end of that era in the 1790a.'s. Its name pays tribute to Anthimos Gazis
(1758-1828), one of the most prolific Greek thinkers of the period, who was
responsible for writing, translating and editing numerous books, including the
editorship of the important Greek periodical I.I.I.I.I. I. I.I.I.I.I.I. (Litterary Hermes)
in Wien.

GFS Gazis has been digitally designed by George D. Matthiopoulos.
