About Michael Wenssler Font Family


Michael Wenssler or Michael Wennsler, operated a press at Basel between 1472 and 1490. He apparently suffered financially to the point that he fled his creditors and came to France where he managed to print a further 10 works to bring to a total an estimated 150 books. This font face dates to 1482 and is a wonderfully well rounded and uniquely decorative example of the early blackletter style.

About Proportional Lime

Proportional Lime Type Foundry is a second floor operation that is overrun with a bird, cats, and unpleasant levels of heat, some of which is generated by the obsolescent machinery, and the rest enforced by the laws of thermodynamics. The bird owns the cats. And the cats own the humans. However, even considering the aggressive nature of the bird's endless commentary, and the cat's intermittent proofreading sessions, work is still routinely accomplished, and the goal of creating historically influenced typefaces achieved. We at PLTF desire to create typefaces that accurately recreate the feel of the old printing technologies for use in the modern world and also to explore novel designs.
