Sabon was a typeface created by typeface designer Jan Tschichold. It's usage was in Bibles and also in other religious texts. It is is an interesting typeface in that it is a roman style, which is more traditional. It works well for its purpose of being used as a font for a Bible. Tschichold himself was arrested during the reign of Nazi Germany for being sympathetic to communism and creating un-german font. He then escaped to Switzerland where his work continued.
