Jacques_François_Rosart
Jacques François Rosart (1714, Namur – 26 May 1777) was a Belgian engraver and founder of metal type.[1]
Rosart operated a successful type foundry in Brussels after arriving in the city in 1759, and before that worked in Haarlem.[2] His typefaces were in the "transitional" style, and he also made script typefaces, which he called a Financière style, music typefaces and shadowed capitals.[3][2]
Digital typefaces based on Rosart's work have been published.[4][5][6][7]
