Drawn specifically for large sizes, the Tiempos Headline types were created to address these issues. It’s sharp without being shrill or brittle, with snug spacing to optimise copyfit. A greater range of weights than in Tiempos Text allows for flexibility, and the lengthened ascenders and descenders aim to strike a balance between practicality and elegance.

Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, & the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Temporal measurement, or chronometry, takes two distinct period forms: the calendar, a mathematical tool for organizing intervals of time, and the clock. In day-to-day life, the clock is consulted for periods less than a day, the calendar, for periods longer than a day. Now, personal electronic devices display both calendars and clocks simultaneously. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Bold & Bold Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com Artifacts from the Paleolithic suggest that the moon was used to reckon time as early as 6,000 years ago. Lunar calendars were among the first to appear, 12 to 13 lunar months (354 or 384 days). Without intercalation to add days or months to some years, seasons quickly drift in a calendar based solely on twelve lunar months. Lunisolar calendars have a thirteenth month added to some years to make up for the differ- ence between a full year (now known to be about 365.24 days) and a year of just twelve lunar months. The numbers 12 and 13 came to feature prominently in many cultures, at least partly due to this relationship of months to years. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Semibold & Semibold Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com The reforms of Julius Caesar in 45 BC placed the Roman world on a solar calendar. The Julian calendar was faulty in that its intercalation still allowed the astronomical solstices and equinoxes to advance against it by about 11 minutes per year. The Gregorian calendar was only slowly adopted by different nations over a period of centuries, but it is now the most commonly used calendar. The most precise timekeeping device of the ancient world was the water clock, or clepsydra, one of which was found in the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I (1525–1504 BC). They could be used to measure the hours even at night, but required manual upkeep to replenish the flow of water. The Ancient Greeks regularly maintained timekeeping records. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Medium & Medium Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com The hourglass uses the flow of sand to measure the flow of time. They were used in navigation. Ferdinand Magellan used 18 glasses on each ship for his circumnavigation of the globe (1522). Incense sticks and candles were (and still are) commonly used to measure time in temples and churches across the globe. The English word clock probably comes from the Middle Dutch word klocke which, in turn, derives from the medieval Latin word clocca, which ultimately derives from Celtic and is cognate with French, Latin, and German words that mean bell. The passage of the hours at sea were marked by bells, and denoted the time. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Regular & Regular Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com A chronometer is a portable timekeeper that meets certain precision standards. Initially, the term was used to refer to the marine chronometer, a timepiece used to determine longitude by means of celestial navigation, a precision achieved by John Harrison. More recently, the term has also been applied to the chronometer watch, a watch that meets precision standards set by the Swiss agency COSC. The most accurate timekeeping devices are atomic clocks, which are accurate to seconds in many millions of years, and are used to calibrate other clocks and timekeeping instruments. Atomic clocks use the spin property of atoms as their basis, and since 1967, the International System of Measurements bases its unit of time, the second, on the properties of caesium atoms. SI defines the second as 9,192,631,770 cycles. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Light & Light Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com In medieval philosophical writings, the atom was a unit of time referred to as the smallest possible division of time. The earliest known occurrence in English is in Byrhtferth’s Enchiridion of 1010–1012, where it was defined as .0016835 of a momentum (1½ minutes), and thus equal to .156 of a second. It was used in the computus, the process of calculating dates. Greenwich Mean Time is an older standard, adopted starting with British railways in 1847. Using telescopes instead of atomic clocks, GMT was calibrated to the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in the UK. Universal Time (UT) is the modern term for the international telescope-based system, adopted to replace Greenwich Mean Time in 1928. KLIM Tiempos Headline ABOUT vllg.com Tiempos Text & Headline Tiempos was initiated as an optimisation of Galaxie Copernicus for a Spanish newspaper page 1 of 3 redesign. Although it began as an offshoot of Galaxie Copernicus, Tiempos evolved far enough that it became its own standalone family. Copernicus is based on Plantin, it’s broad proportions are designed to harmonise with Chester Jenkins’ Galaxie system. Over the last century, Plantin has influenced many typefaces, the most notable example is Stanley Morison’s Times New Roman. Plantin influences Times & Galaxie, which in turn influence Tiempos These days Times New Roman is much maligned. It’s easy to dismiss due to it’s ubiquity — being the default for
