Download Beaufort® Fonts by Shinntype

Download Beaufort® Fonts by Shinntype This type is almost a sans serif. It has legibility proportions, and a very large, useful family with specially adapted condensed and extended sub-families. Compared with type set by older technologies, PostScript type, imageset and printed by high-resolution offset lithography, has a remarkable clarity at any size. While many types, old and new, benefit from this level of definition, few designs specifically exploit it. Beaufort does. Its pointed serifs introduce a sharpness of reproduction that was difficult to achieve, at any size, prior to PostScript. This means that small sizes of Beaufort will combine a high word count with good legibility, while large sizes will always display very fine detail. Optical scaling is not required. More In style, Beaufort has a number of affinities. In particular, the bold romans recall a kind of grotesque with small serifs style popular with sign painters and package lettering artists in th...

Download Sabon® Fonts by Linotype

Download Sabon® Fonts by Linotype In the early 1960s, the German Master Printers Association requested that a new typeface be designed and produced in identical form on both Linotype and Monotype machines so that text and technical composition would match. Walter Cunz at Stempel responded by commissioning Jan Tschichold to design a new version of Claude Garamonds serene and classical Roman. Its bold, and particularly its italic styles are limited by the requirements of Linotype casting machines, forcing the character widths of a given letter to match between styles, giving the italic its characteristic narrow f. The familys name is taken from Jacques Sabon, who introduced Garamonds Romans to Frankfurt. Sabon has long been a favorite of typographers for setting book text, due to its smooth texture , and in large part because Tschicholds book typography remains world famous.

Download Bauer Bodoni™ Fonts by Linotype

Download Bauer Bodoni™ Fonts by Linotype Giambattista Bodoni (17401813) was called the King of Printers and the Bodoni font owes its creation in 1767 to his masterful cutting techniques. Predecessors in a similar style were the typefaces of Pierre Simon Fournier (17121768) and the Didot family (16891836). The Bodoni font distinguishes itself through the strength of its characters and embodies the rational thinking of the Enlightenment. The new typefaces displaced the Old Face and Transitional styles and was the most popular typeface until the mid-19th century. Bodonis influence on typography was dominant until the end of the 19th century and, even today, inspires new creations. More Working with this font requires care, as the strong emphasis of the vertical strokes and the marked contrast between the fine and thick lines lessens Bodonis legibility, and the font is therefore better in larger print with generous spacing. Bauer Bodoni appeared in 1926 with the Baue...

Download Filosofia™ Fonts by Emigre

Download Filosofia™ Fonts by Emigre The Filosofia Regular family is designed for text applications. It is somewhat rugged with reduced contrast to withstand the reduction to text sizes. The Filosofia Grand family is intended for display applications and is therefore more delicate and refined. More An additional variant, included in the Grand package, is a Unicase version which uses a single height for characters that are otherwise separated into upper and lower case. This is similar to Bradbury Thompsons Alphabet 26, except that Thompsons goal was to create a text alphabet free of such redundancies as the two different forms which represent the character a or A, whereas Filosofia Unicase does have stylistic variants to provide flexibility for headline use.

Download Karlo Fonts by The Northern Block Ltd

Download Karlo Fonts by The Northern Block Ltd Karlo is a super family of several branches, originating in the same lightweight skeleton. The lightweights are based on a pen of an even stroke-width. More Inspired by the writings of calligrapher Edward Johnston, the family moves on in two directions in the heavier weights. Johnston demonstrated that the broad nib pen can produce different writing styles. Following this, one heavy weight has a humanistic low stroke contrast (KarloSerifBold and KarloSansBold), and another has a high stroke contrast of vertical axis with references to the 19th century jobbing typefaces (KarloOpen). The latter is inspired by Johnstons demonstration of the broad nib pen, where he suggested fastening two pencils together. With each pencil representing an edge of the pen, it becomes more evident how the pen works in writing. The friendly informal look makes KarloSans and KarloSerif usable for both running text and for display sizes. Karl...
