Portrait
Regular 2 Italic
Acabáronse las vísperas, y la fiesta de Santa Ana, y quedó Preciosa algo cansada; pero tan celebrada de hermosa, de aguda y de discreta, y de bailadora, que a corrillos se hablaba della en toda la Corte. De allí a quince días volvió a Madrid con otras tres muchachas, con sonajas y con un baile nuevo, todas apercebidas de romances y de cantarcillos alegres, pero todos honestos. Pusiéronse a bailar a la sombra en la calle de Toledo, y de los que las venían siguiendo se hizo luego un gran corro; y en tanto que bailaban.Acabáronse las vísperas, y la fiesta de Santa Ana, y quedó Preciosa algo cansada; pero tan celebrada de hermosa, de aguda y de discreta, y de bailadora, que a corrillos se hablaba della en toda la Corte.

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

Portrait is Berton Hasebe’s sharply minimalist depiction of French Renaissance types. The marriage of classical proportions with triangular Latin serifs is an inspired combination, and a fresh way to see these nearly 500-year-old forms.

Portrait draws its primary inspiration from the Two-line Double Pica Roman, equivalent to 32pt in contemporary sizes, attributed to the French punchcutter Maître Constantin (known as the Estienne Master).

The italic is a departure from the historical models, touching on hallmarks of the style, like the slightly ascending p and looped k, while remaining minimalist in nature, turning hooks into triangles and regularizing the slope angle.

Inline is a beautiful, decorative addition to Portrait, building on the inscriptional quality of the capital proportions.

Portrait Inline Regular takes the minimalism present in the rest of the collection to its logical extreme: sharply tapering outer strokes play against monoline inner strokes, with all extraneous detailing stripped away. The Inline Sans takes the structure of the Inline Serif, exposing the geometric underpinnings of the proportions, while adding a dimensional element through its overlapping strokes.
