Nicholas Jenson live from 1404-1480 and he created a cutting edge Roman Type face that was unmatched for years after he died. My favorite thing about Nicholas Jenson is that he was very financially successful alongside being successful with type. He was so successful he was able to run up to 12 printing presses simultaneously. In my own life this type or a type very similar to it is often printed in bibles and that is where I have had the most experience with this type. One additional fact about Nicholas Jenson is that he opened up two book printing companies which allowed him to expand his wealth in the later part of life.
