字体介绍

Kis Classico™是以匈牙利僧侣Miklós Kis的名字命名的，他于17世纪末前往阿姆斯特丹学习印刷艺术。阿姆斯特丹是印刷和冲压的中心，大约1685年，Kis在1那里刻出了属于他自己的字体。几个世纪以来，Kis的字体被错误地认为是17世纪在莱比锡工作的荷兰雕刻师Anton Janson的作品。该字体的大多数版本仍然使用Janson整个名字。1993年，意大利/瑞典的字体设计师Franko Luin完成了Kis Classico，这是他对Kis字体的一种当代的诠释。“关于Kis / Janson的故事”， Luin说，“如果您了解匈牙利语，我建议您阅读GyörgyHaiman于1972年出版的专著《TótfalusiKisMiklós》（Magyar Helikon出版社）。自从他在阿姆斯特丹期间到他在Kolozsvár（今天罗马尼亚的Cluj）成为一名公认的印刷商以来，该专著都已被复制国数百次了。” Kis Classico具有五种字重，是这款经典字体的绝佳版本。

Kis Classico™ is named after the Hungarian monk Miklós Kis who traveled to Amsterdam at the end of the seventeenth century to learn the art of printing. Amsterdam was a center of printing and punchcutting, and Kis cut his own type there in about 1685. For centuries, Kis's type was wrongly attributed to Anton Janson, a Dutch punchcutter who worked in Leipzig in the seventeenth century. Most versions of this type still go by the name Janson. In 1993, the Italian/Swedish type designer Franko Luin completed Kis Classico, his own contemporary interpretation of the Kis types. About the Kis/Janson story, Luin says: If you understand Hungarian I recommend you read the monograph, 'Tótfalusi Kis Miklós' by György Haiman, published in 1972 by Magyar Helikon. It has hundreds of reproductions from his Amsterdam period and from the time when he was an established printer in Kolozsvár (today's Cluj in Romania)." Kis Classico has five weights, and is an admirable version of this classic type.
