Dominicale sounds medieval, and in a way it is, although its profile is humanist and its details have a crafty flavour. The late fifteenth-century punch cutters who created the first humanist type were pursuing the “roman” because they wanted to style themselves as secular and historically attuned in contrast to medieval superstition. But ironically the basis for their letters was actually Carolingian minuscule, a writing style from the dar-kest of the dark ages and from the periphery of the Holy Roman Empire, which at that point was no longer remotely roman anyway. So the name Dominicale comes one layer closer to a true origin, although it would not have been appreciated at the time.The humanists concentrated their energies on projects like the “De Aetna,” a bantering account of scholar Pietro Bembo’s journey to Mt. Aetna with his father, or the “Hypne-rotomachia Poliphili,” a romance set in a bizarre, classicized dreamscape. The protago-nists recline on riverbanks, admire the “crystalline tears of the sweet morning,” and ge-nerally digress themselves into obscurity. Twentieth-century revivals of early humanist type, like Stanley Morrison’s Bembo, were interested in these poetic, floral qualities, which were interpreted in a way that looks fine and mannered in comparison to the originals. Dominicale is interested in the opposite: it interprets the primitive, rough setting of the early printed book into a bold, angular structure; it ignores the geometric for the ener-getic, and looks for its details to woodcutting. Dominicale is less concerned with the humanists’ portrait of themselves than with their relationship to a darker past and the pastiche that is our inheritance today.
