Background
Neacademia is a Latin and Cyrillic type family inspired by the types cut by 15th century Italian punchcutter Francesco Griffo da Bologna for the famous Venetian printer and publisher Aldus Pius Manutius. Text-size romans are modeled after Griffo’s Roman #3 (Colonna) and #4 (Leoniceno). Text italics are modeled after Italic #1 (Virgil) and later design for Soncino (Petrarch).
