А потом как-то неожиданно присмирел, затих, даже плакать перестал. Но смотреть на него никто не решался. А к ночи куда-то исчез. Искали да так и не нашли…А потом как-то неожиданно присмирел, затих, даже плакать перестал. Но смотреть на него никто не решался. А к ночи куда-то исчез. Искали да так и не нашли…

Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby. This was not the same building of which the stately ruins still interest the traveller, and which was erected at a later period by the Lord Hastings, High Chamberlain of England, one of the first victims of the tyranny of Richard the Third, and yet better known as one of Shakspeare’s characters than by his historical fame. The castle and town of Ashby, at this time, belonged to Roger de Quincy.Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby.

About

Giorgio Sans was created in 2008 by Christian Schwartz for Christopher Martinez, art director for the New York Times’ style magazine, T. The heaviest weights were added a few years later, bringing power to the family.

Rather than drawing from the high-fashion Art Deco influences seen in the serif, Giorgio Sans was inspired by everyday sources, such as French enamel signs and generic straightsided American sign lettering from the early 20th сentury.

The distinguishing feature of the typeface is the extreme x-height and the extremely short extenders. With the help of an alternate set of perfectly circular round caps, charming rhythms and textures can be created. The typeface is available in a wide range of weights, all with matching obliques.

Ilya Ruderman (CTSM Fonts) designed the Cyrillic version in 2016.
