Biblica: Designing a Typeface for the Bible

Authors

  • Kurt Weidemann

Abstract

A new typeface, Biblica, was designed especially for a new German edition of the Bible. The type designs and production of earlier German Bibles were examined. A variety of legibility factors were taken into consideration to meet a required economy of space and the new production demands of a digital generation system.
