contents: The first civilité-letter was cut in 1557 by the Frenchman Robert Granjon. Afterwards, he established himself for a couple of years in Antwerp, where his typefaces were used by Antwerp printers such as Willem Silvius and Christopher Plantin. In 1558, the type cutter Ameet Tavernier produced his own civilité, and that was the first in a list of Dutch variations on the typeface which was frequently used up to well into the eighteenth century. In general, this typeface was used for works in the vernacular; such as devotional works, instructions for the young or pamphlets and proclamations.
