est. 2011
Bookmania was designed by Mark Simonson in
2011, a revival of the 1960’s Bookman Oldstyle.
Bookman Oldstyle started development in 1858
when A.C. Phemister created Antique Old Style
No.7. This typeface came about from Old Style
Antique #310 made by Bruce Foundry, which later
was renamed Bookman Oldstyle. This font contains
682 alternative characters with sweeping curves. It
as well provides alternative characters for letters
like “g” with a closed counter and a closed “a”.
