+ <description>
+ <p>
+ In 1927, Scholderer, on behalf of the Society for the Promotion of Greek
+ Studies, got involved in choosing and consulting the design and production of a
+ Greek type called New Hellenic cut by the Lanston Monotype Corporation. He
+ chose the revival of a round, and almost monoline type which had first appeared
+ in 1492 in the edition of Macrobius, ascribable to the printing shop of
+ Giovanni Rosso (Joannes Rubeus) in Venice. New Hellenic was the only successful
+ typeface in Great Britain after the introduction of Porson Greek well over a
+ century before. The type, since to 1930’s, was also well received in Greece,
+ albeit with a different design for Ksi and Omega.
+
+ GFS digitized the typeface (1993-1994) funded by the Athens Archeological
+ Society with the addition of a new set of epigraphical symbols. Later (2000)
+ more weights were added (italic, bold and bold italic) as well as a latin
+ version.
