Replicating Archaic Documents: A Typographic Challenge

 

 

The replication of archaic documents on paper using modern typographic tools is a quite challenging task. This task is usually broken in two sub-tasks: the design of a font that fully respects all aspects of the handwritten document and the design of software tools (macros for the digital typesetter and/or external routines) that are used to set the archaic document. Here we report on the creation of a font and the accompanying typographic tools for the replication of Epi-Olmec stelae. In addition, based on the experience we gained from our work on the tools for the Epi-Olmec script, we developed a font and similar typographic tools for the replication of the Philokalia book, which we also report.
