Sumario:The article provides information about the Mythlore main body text. It says that the Mythlore are set in Palatino Linotype, a balanced and refined lyrical modernist face. Hence, Herman Zapf that is based in humanist Renaissance designs created it in 1948. However, the combination of modernism and deliberate anachronism formulate Palatino suitable for studies of the works of modern fantasists. The texts are primarily cut by hand and cast as foundry type. Furthermore, Mythlore started using Palatino when it switched to computer type settings.
