Anaktoria

Anaktoria, based on Grecs du roi, was designed by Claude Garamond (1480–1561) between 1541 and 1544 for King Francis I of France for exclusive use by the National Empire in Paris. The Greek language in Anaktoria is based on a modern version of Grecs du roi, prepared by Mindaugas Strakys in 2001. The lowercase Latin letters are derived from the titles in the First Folio of Shakespeare, published in 1623. Scott Mann and Peter Gitter prepared a modern version for the Shakespeare Festival in Illinois in 1995. The Cyrillic was designed to match the aforementioned Greek and Latin. The font covers the Windows glyph list, extended Greek, various typographic additions, and some OpenType features (numerators, denominators, fractions, old-style figures, historical forms, stylistic alternates, ligatures, capitals).
