  1. Catherine Dixon points out that Matthew Carter’s Mantinia is

    inspired by the letterforms painted and engraved by Andrea Mantegna, artist of the Italian Renaissance and one of the first to study and revive the monumental lettering of imperial Rome. — Carter & Cone

    Below is a comparison of Charlemagne Bold (top), the Mantegna wordmark (middle, with shortened serifs, see E, but also T and G), and Mantinia (bottom).
