Hermann Zapf對Aurelia的設計是基於Jenson的形式,Jenson是一種由Nicolas Jenson在1470年開發的老式字體,至今仍影響著字體設計。Zapf給Aurelia帶來瞭一些個人風格,並使之適應瞭現代技術的要求。Aurelia是一種健壯和經典的字體,適用於文本和標題。該傢族字體最初是為德國Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH公司生產的排字機設計的。Aurelia這個名字是對羅馬皇帝Aurelianus (214 – 275)的致敬,他在意大利建造瞭奧裡利亞大道(Via Aurelia)。


1990年,Linotype AG與Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH合並,形成瞭Linotype- Hell AG(現為Linotype GmbH)。從那時起,Linotype就成為瞭所有字體的官方來源,這些字體最初是為Hell公司設計的。Linotype還使用包括OpenType在內的新技術改進瞭字體。


1458年,查理七世派遣法國人Nicolas Jenson到美因茨學習活字印刷術,Gutenberg就在美因茨工作。Jenson本應該帶著他新學的技能回到法國,但他去瞭意大利,就像當時其他巡回印刷工人一樣。從1468年起,他來到瞭威尼斯,在那裡他成為瞭一名打孔工、印刷工和出版人。他可能是第一個使用活字印刷的非德國人,他印刷瞭大約150個版本。從1470年到1480年他去世的這幾個世紀裡,他的書一直是字體設計師的靈感來源。他的羅馬字體通常被稱為第一個真正的羅馬字體。”值得註意的是,幾乎所有的Jensonian Romans都使用小寫的e,也就是眾所周知的“Venetian Oldstyle e”。

Hermann Zapf’s design for Aurelia is based on the forms of Jenson, an Old Style typeface developed by Nicolas Jenson in 1470 which still influences type design today. Zapf gave Aurelia a bit of his own personal style and adapted it to the demands of modern technology. Aurelia is a robust and classic font, suitable for both text and headlines. The family of typefaces was originally designed for use with the typesetting machines produced by the German company Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH. The name Aurelia is a nod to the Roman emperor Aurelianus (214 – 275), who built the Via Aurelia in Italy.

In 1990, Linotype AG merged with Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH, forming the Linotype-Hell AG (today Linotype GmbH). Since then, Linotype has been the official source of all fonts that were originally designed for the Hell Corporation. Linotype has also improved the typefaces using new technologies, including OpenType.

About Nicholas Jenson In 1458, Charles VII sent the Frenchman Nicolas Jenson to learn the craft of movable type in Mainz, the city where Gutenberg was working. Jenson was supposed to return to France with his newly learned skills, but instead he traveled to Italy, as did other itinerant printers of the time. From 1468 on, he was in Venice, where he flourished as a punchcutter, printer and publisher. He was probably the first non-German printer of movable type, and he produced about 150 editions. Though his punches have vanished, his books have not, and those produced from about 1470 until his death in 1480 have served as a source of inspiration for type designers over centuries. His Roman type is often called the first true Roman." Notable in almost all Jensonian Romans is the angled crossbar on the lowercase e, which is known as the "Venetian Oldstyle e.""
