Information

LTC Jenson is a bookish Renaissance serif family. It was designed by J. W. Phinney of the Dickinson Type Foundry in 1893. Jenson is based on the “Golden Type” designed by William Morris in 1890 for his private press editions under the imprint of the Kelmscott Press. The shorter ascenders and descenders allow for a tighter fit. There is something inherently antique about this family, making it especially fitting for typography and design, which need a more vintage or antique look and feel.
