It was the knowledgeable mayor of Amsterdam who requested that those types be founded. These types were used to print the mayor's Nicolaes Witsen work entitled Noord en Oost Tartarye . Then I felt that this typeface had more potential in it, to express more things in more exciting ways, and so I began to work, once again, on Xodus . After refounding, Xodus called for a new name. Eventually, I chose Nexodus as its name, and I also made a new set of ornaments as well as many ligatures and zodiac signs. Miszttfalusi 's name appears in the colophon of the book. Unfortunately, as legend has it, the types never reached the Georgian court, which had commissioned Miszttfalusi to design them. The result was a totally new typeface. I published this revival typeface in 2001. // Mikls Kis Miszttfalusi Nicholas Kis was among the first to found Armenian types. I named it Xodus and it can be found in the T-26 Digital Typeface Library in Chicago. However, a sample sheet survived and was found in 1980 in Amsterdam. It may seem to make no sense to 're-Latinise' the types of Miszttfalusi , who himself was a great master in founding Latin types, and for whom Armenian types meant the first step in a new direction. The Nexodus is restaged and totally renewed after 20 years. He prepared his first set of exotic types before September 1685 for the Armenian printing house in Amsterdam. Later, in 1687, he found Georgian types, which were, in many respects, similar to the Armenian set. They were either lost or stolen somewhere in Sweden. Since there was no printing house in Georgia, he designed the types on the basis of some manuscripts. I tried to find a name that refers to its predecessor and I also wanted it to express that the new type is more than just a version of the previous one.
