The prototype of the Renesans typeface was created in 1901 in the Berlin foundry of Hermann Berthold and was then called Secession. It appeared in several thickness and ornamental varieties. Its copy was later cast in the Warsaw foundry of Idzkowski. It was also given a new name - Renesans, which had little to do with the drawing of the letters. Our version of the Renesans is based on the thickest variety of Idźkowski's patterns. Compared to the original, its proportions have been slightly changed to better reflect those of the Kolumbia font. Renesans is a decorative sans serif typeface. It has a display character - suitable for headings, titles, cover and poster. It is designed to be used in a set with our other typeface - Kolumbia. Its authors are Ania Wieluńska and Borys Kosmynka.
