This family was created inspired from the edition of "De Civitate Dei" (by Sanctus Augustinus) printed in 1467 in Sobiano (Italy, Roma) by Konrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz who was the punchcutter. It is one of the first few "Roman style" fonts, just before the birth of Jenson's pattern. The present font is containing all of the specific latin abbreviations and ligatures used in the original (about 54). Added are the accented characters and a few others not in use in this early period of printing.
