    Pensum a monster for text, text and nothing but text — 18 sharp ’n’ soft serif fonts by Nils Thomsen www.typemates.com Pensum Pro · by TypeMates Page 2 ensum is a typeface for text, text and nothing but text. A pure monster, straight and plain. It will set reliably word for word, line for line and paragraph for paragraph, sometimes a spark of the sexy, curvy and strongly ink trapped italic Psneaks into proceedings but anyhow the plain workhorse will keep on setting text. Deep inside some sharp details are hidden unlike some brushy and smooth shapes to be revealed in large sizes. But seriously … Pensum comes along with nine weights from thin to black plus italics. The strong serifs combined with the low contrast makes it excellent for long reading text for example in magazines and books. The extreme thin and fragile styles can give a stylish and fash- ionable look, while the strong black weights are great for the rough nature of mountain sports. Pensum counts around 1050 glyphs including lots of OpenType Features to full fill every typo- — sexy, curvy and graphical need. Most important for lovers of book typography, the strongly ink trapped small-caps are slightly wider than the caps. You will find punctuation italic shapes — in case- and small cap-sensitive variations. The Adobe Latin 3 encoding is a TypeMates standard and gives a wide range of flexibility for Latin language support. Pensum is broad-nib based and inspired by some handwritten brush exercises at Peter Verheuls class during Type and Media course 2009 in The Hague.

  • A Letter Is Defined As a Character Or Symbol That Represents Sound Used in Speech
    Typography 1: Letter A letter is defined as a character or symbol that represents sound used in speech. The English alphabet has 26 of these characters, from which all of the English language is derived. Each character is unique, it has it’s own sound, it’s own shape, its own characteristics and its own rules of use. A designer can not properly create good typographic design without a proper understanding of the characters that make up a word, sentence, or paragraph. Images from this slide show come from: http://www.graphictivitis.com/index.php/the-anatomy-of-type/ Typography 1: Letter The English alphabet is made up of uppercase letters, lowercase letters and a full complement of symbols, including periods, commas, exclamation points, question marks, numbers, hyphens, brackets, etc. The overall look and design of these letters is called a typeface. The complete set of letters, numbers, and symbols together is called a font. Samples of Baskerville (left) and Helvetica (right) Typography 1:Letter The two main categories of typefaces are serif or sans serif. Fonts are often divided into serif and sans serif. Serif fonts are distinguishable by the extra stroke at the ends of the character, known as a serif (aka as a tail). Sans serif is a letterform without structural extensions or tails. Sans is french meaning without. Typography 1:Letter Examples of serif and sans serif typefaces Serif: Sans serif is a letterform without structural extensions or tails. Sans is french meaning without.
