Alternate Characters & Fraternal Fonts Alternate Characters & Fraternal Fonts In the 70’s I had a letterpress shop. One of the type cabinets I purchased when I was setting it up had a couple of drawers of wood type. The press and the cabinets are gone but I did save some of the type including the wood. It is now stored in a wooden box which was originally made for holding floppy discs. I later used a few of the characters in paintings. The press used for printing these was my thumb. I used them again to set the title for this section of the slideshow. The second R in “Characters” appears to be a P, but actually it is an alternate R, a legitimate (although archaic) Roman character dating back to at least the sixth century bce. LAVINIUM, VOTIVE, CASTOR & POllUX, BRONZE, 6TH CENTURY BCE, In the sixth century Roman writing was either right to left or boustrophedon. The image at the top is seen in the correct orientation. The enlargement has been flipped. The “P” here is used to represent the sound /r/. Alternate characters have been used in Western typography since the beginning. The font used for Gutenberg’s 42 line Bible contained many ligatures. Gutenberg must not have viewed them as alternates, but simply what was required to imitate the contemporary script. AVA N T G AR D E In the early days of phototypesetting, Herb Lubalin concocted Avant Garde used initially for Avant Garde maga- zine. It contained a large number of ligatures. ABCDEFGHIJKLMN OPQ+R|STUVWXYZ ^ ‰ ⁄ fi ¬ µ ∂ π ∫ |#<>¤~≈∏fl±◊ abcdefghijklm¶ nopq=r\stuvwxyz ™ ∞ ı ® ß … ≠ © MANTINIA In the early days of digital type Matthew Carter designed Mantinia which has ligatured and superscript capitals. The design is connected to the Italian Renaissance through the paintings of Andrea Mantegna. Mantinia used on the cover of a new magazine TipoItalia, designed and edited by Claudio Rocha. In recent years, OpenType has focussed attention on alternate characters. The availability of this functionality has precipitated efforts to find ways it might be used in typography using the roman alphabet. ���b����c���d����� ���e�������f����g� ����h����i���j���k���� l���m���n������o�� ��p���q���r���s������ t�������u���v�� �w���x���y�����z���ZAP F INO In addition to ligatures, there is a strain of alternate characters associated with the manuals produced by writing masters starting in the 16th century. Some 20th cenury type designers have produced typefaces in this tradition. Hermann Zapf’s Zapfino is one. It has been used for many purposes... ...including this one.

Arepo Swash Italic used for a book jacket designed by Christopher Stinehour. ag ag TU FF TU F F SCHOO L We do have two characters in mainstream roman typography which have alternate forms that have nothing to do with swashes or ligatures – the so-called one and two story a and g. Goodnight comb And goodnight brush Goodnight nobody Goodnight mush Goodnight stars Goodnight air Goodnight noises everywhere One of the uses of the single-story characters is for setting children’s books.

  • The Impact of the Historical Development of Typography on Modern Classification of Typefaces
    M. Tomiša et al. Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) UDC/UDK 655.26:003.2 THE IMPACT OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TYPOGRAPHY ON MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF TYPEFACES Mario Tomiša, Damir Vusić, Marin Milković Original scientific paper One of the definitions of typography is that it is the art of arranging typefaces for a specific project and their arrangement in order to achieve a more effective communication. In order to choose the appropriate typeface, the user should be well-acquainted with visual or geometric features of typography, typographic rules and the historical development of typography. Additionally, every user is further assisted by a good quality and simple typeface classification. There are many different classifications of typefaces based on historical or visual criteria, as well as their combination. During the last thirty years, computers and digital technology have enabled brand new creative freedoms. As a result, there are thousands of fonts and dozens of applications for digitally creating typefaces. This paper suggests an innovative, simpler classification, which should correspond to the contemporary development of typography, the production of a vast number of new typefaces and the needs of today's users. Keywords: character, font, graphic design, historical development of typography, typeface, typeface classification, typography Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama Izvorni znanstveni članak Jedna je od definicija tipografije da je ona umjetnost odabira odgovarajućeg pisma za određeni projekt i njegova organizacija s ciljem ostvarenja što učinkovitije komunikacije. Da bi korisnik mogao odabrati pravo pismo za svoje potrebe treba prije svega dobro poznavati optičke ili geometrijske značajke tipografije, tipografska pravila i povijesni razvoj tipografije.

Nevertheless, if a designer sells a template for which the client needs to install the font software, then the client needs to purchase its own license according to the number of workstations the font software will be installed on. How long is my license valid? All our licenses are perpetual licenses, not subscriptions: they are valid for life and only need to be payed once. Our licenses don’t have a limitation on media: you can use the font you purchased on as many projects as you want (print, web, apps…). Can I share or transfer my license? Our licenses are not intended to be shared or transferred. Each of our four types of licenses specify the number of workstations on which you can install the font software. These work- stations must be owned by the same End-User’s company and located in the same premises.
