This typeface was inspired in the amazing typographic work of Manoel de Andrade de Figueiredo that was published in 1722, named "Nova Escola para Aprender a Ler, Escrever e Contar, offerecida ‡ Augusta Magestade do Senhor Dom Jao V, Rey de Portugal".

He established that this was the kind of typeface that should be considered the Portuguese Style. The three styles, Primeyra, Segunda e Terceyra, with plenty of ligatures and flourishes, provide all the typographic features for any classic or contemporary design.
