Joaquin Ibarra and Marin born in Zaragoa on June 20, 1725 and died November 13, 1785. Joaquin Ibarra was a Spanish author who was known for several important technical developments on the work of the press, books and typography. His work was extremely anticipated. One of his most important works that came out was Conhuración de Catilina y la guerra de Yugurta printed in 1772 and an edition of Don Quijote de la Mancha as well as Real Academia Española done in 1780.

Joaquin Ibarra
Ibarra studied at Cervera, in the province of Lleida, as an apprentice to his brother Manuel, who was serving as first officer of Printing Pontifical and Royal University. He also studied academic, learning Latin and classical culture bases. As teacher, he moved to Madrid in 1754, installing a print shop. Endowed with great ingenuity, Ibarra implemented several innovations in terms of printing the work itself and the process of composition. He experimented with the satin of the paper to remove marks from the printing plate; established a standardized format for developing measures of graphic types, based on the surface of a capital, similar in principle to the rules to be developed by Fournier independently; typographical conventions and remove some mismatched use of the time, such as the V used to represent the U or using the same block for the long s and f. One of his disciples, the later ruler of the Company of Printers and Booksellers in the United Jose Siguenza, systematically collected observations as a collection publishing them in 1811 with the title of Mechanism of the Printing Art. Between 1754 and 1836 Ibarra continued to serve his workshop, which occurred some 2,500 different editions. Notable are the aforementioned de Cervantes and Sallust, the latter was printed, an edition of 120 copies for exceptional use of the royal family and foreign dignitaries present. Other issues highlighted were the Spanish Paleography (1758), Plant History (1762); Breviarium regulam Gothicum Beatissimi Secundum Isidori (1775), the second edition of the Tour of Spain, by Antonio Ponz, the General History of Spain, by John Mariana (1780), and the Bibliotheca Hispana Vetus et Nova (1783–1788), in four volumes. Collaborated with the publisher Antonio Sancha before it established its own printing press, printing among other works the first volumes of the Spanish Parnassus.

Type
Ibarra did not design, engraved or cast types, contrary to what is often assumed, he used others deigns and cast types. The error is probably from the documents in his edition of Don Quixote of the Royal Academy, for which they made ​​a new cast (but not a new design) recorded letter to the Royal Library in Madrid. Ibarra's printing used various foundries of his time, highlighting games Gerónimo Gil, the Smelter Rangel (used by the Gazette, and they really are a game of Garamond), types of Lleida Eudald Pradell with casting Madrid, a game of Garamond, and the celebrated and reviled italic cast which composed the Sallust, abierta open by the academic and writer Murcia Espinosa de los Monteros, who owned a foundry in Madrid. In the early twentieth century Madrid smelter Gans held a revival that called Ibarra from several of these castings, and is the starting point for other recent redesigns.
