Type Font Poster. Centaur MT Pro, Typographic family.

This is a project, from the Typography Class, at Brigham Young University-Idaho. The font selected was assigned, with the intention of research it history. I could not ask better typeface to seek further information, and realize that the typefaces have personality.

Centaur MT Pro, was  design for the genius of fifteenth-century master printer and designer Nicholas Jenson. 

The original completed fonts from Rogers were cast in 14 point by The American Type Founders Company and were first used to set a translation of De Guerin’s Le Centaure. Following typographic tradition, Rogers named his typeface after the book in which it first appeared.

Centaur was later issued in several other sizes and used exclusively for the New York Metropolitan Museum Press.
