Hi Typophiles!
I'm starting a new type proyect, trying to interpret scans of books printed by Simon de Colines. My question is: Has somebody done this before? Does it worth it?
I really like the printer history and letterforms.
Thanks and kind Regards.

Any information is welcome!
Émilie Rigaud named her typeface Coline to honor this printer. Perhaps she knows some places to research.

I've sent a mail to Émilie. Hopefuly she'll answer...
Thanks J!
Kay Amert from the University of Iowa did a presentation on Simon de Colines and Geofroy Troy at ATypI Vancouver 2003. See: http://old.atypi.org/09_Vancouver/40_timetables/view_presentation_html%3...
As I remember it she focused on interpreting the letterforms of both.

Thank you Peter,
I'll try to get in touch with her!
Fernando — That’s not really going to be possible. You may have already discovered: Kay Amert passed away a few years ago. R.I.P.
