# Fonts-GFS

GFS was founded in 1992 by the late Michael S. Macrakis (1925–2001) as a 
Non-Profit Organization with the expressed aim of contributing to the 
research of Greek typography. The Society was founded initially by the 
Kostopoulos Foundation, with further support provided by 
the Greek Ministry of Culture, the Leventis Foundation, 
Regis College-USA, the Maliotis Foundation and the Girondelis Foundation. 
Furthermore, the Greek Literary and Historical Archives (ELIA) offered valuable
support by providing office space for the first four years of GFS’s operation. 

GFS was founded with the express aim to research the history of 
Greek typography and the design of historic and contemporary Greek typefaces, 
which shall bridge the gap between metal and digital technology.
GFS has released all its digital fonts free for every application
and supports each one with polytonic typesetting capability for
use by the various Centres of Hellenic Studies worldwide.
