The German House

A NOTE ON THE TYPE

The text of this novel was set in ITC Legacy Serif, a typeface created by Ronald Arnholm. He first got the idea for the font when he came across the work of fifteenth-century French engraver and type designer Nicolas Jenson while a graduate student at Yale. Impressed by the classic yet clean lines of the roman font, Arnholm went on to start a revival of Jensen’s work with the creation of ITC Legacy.

An imprint dedicated to publishing international voices, offering readers a chance to encounter other lives and other points of view via the language of the imagination.
