Renaissance Flyer


The Renaissance brought about a lot of stylistic changes. Manuscripts were extremely popular with the hand crafted borders which are displayed above. Also when writing a manuscript, usually, the first letter of the type will be decorated which is also shown above. There were decorative patterns and it was a time where people were exploring with type and how to get in into a machine, which is why there are circles and triangles as they were trying to figure out dimensions to their new type faces.
