GFS Gazis is a typical German example of this practice as it appeared at the end of that era in the 1790’s. Its name pays tribute to Anthimos Gazis (1758-1828), one of the most prolific Greek thinkers of the period, who was responsible for writing, translating and editing numerous books, including the editorship of the important Greek periodical ????? ? ?????? (Litterary Hermes) in Wien. GFS Gazis has been digitally designed by George D. Matthiopoulos.
