Luciole - Typeface (www.luciole-vision.com)
submitted 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) by Troll@lemmy.ml to c/open_source_fonts@lemmy.ml
 

Luciole (French for “firefly”) is a new typeface developed explicitly for visually impaired people. The result of a two-year collaboration between the Centre Technique Régional pour la Déficience Visuelle (the Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment) and the type-design studio typographies.fr, this project received a grant from the Swiss Ceres Foundation and support from the DIPHE laboratory at the Université Lumière Lyon 2.

 

A typeface for developpers.

Type designer: Philipp Nurullin

 

Cormorant is an original design for an extravagant display serif typeface inspired by the Garamond heritage, hand-drawn and produced by Catharsis Fonts. While traditional Garamond cuts make for exquisite reading at book sizes, they appear clumpy and inelegant at larger sizes. The design goal of Cormorant was to distill the æsthetic essence of Garamond, unfetter it from the limitations of metal printing, and allow it to bloom into its natural refined form at high definition.

 

The design of Didot’s 1805 Greek typeface was influenced by the neoclassical ideals of the late 18th century. The font was brought to Greece at the time of the 1821 Greek Revolution, by Didot’s son, and was very widely used. The present version is provided by the Greek Font Society.

The font supports the Greek alphabet, and is accompanied by a matching Latin alphabet based on Zapf’s Palatino. LaTeX support is provided, using the OT1, T1, TS1, and LGR encodings.

 

EB Garamond is intended to be an excellent, classical, Garamond. It is a community project to create a revival of Claude Garamont’s famous humanist typefaces from the mid-16th century. This digital version reproduces the original design by Claude Garamont closely: The source for the letterforms is a scan of a specimen known as the “Berner specimen,” which was composed in 1592 by Conrad Berner, the son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print office. This specimen shows Garamont’s roman and Granjon’s italic types at different sizes. Hence the name of this project: Egenolff-Berner Garamond.

 

What’s New? This is Bodoni* 2.2 which now includes small caps and old style numbers 0123456789, among other general improvements.

A Brief History Giambattista Bodoni is known for creating one of the first “modern serif” type-faces. Advances in printing technology during the late eighteenth century allowed Bodoni to design letterforms with higher contrast between thick and thin strokes, and crisp horizontal serifs. The result is a typeface that’s recognizably elegant, refined, and remains popular centuries after its creation.

No Compromises To put it simply, I made this typeface the best it could possibly be. I built the font from the ground up, using the principles laid out by Bodoni himself in the Manuale Tipografico. I want Bodoni* to be the ultimate digital realization of his ideas, and I stopped at nothing to ensure this.

 

Butler is a free serif font inspired by a mix between both Dala Floda & the amazing Bodoni family. The main goal was to bring a bit of modernism to serif fonts by working on the curves of classical serif font families and adding an extra stencil family.

Great for posters, very big titles, books & fancy stuff, the highly contrasted butler font is pleased to be at your service.

The Butler family contains a total of 334 characters, 7 regular weights and 7 stencil weights, text figures, ligatures, fractions and a lot more. It also suits many languages with its added glyphs.

Usage: Public Domain Mark 1.0

A high-quality digitization of the complete 1923 edition of the American Type Founders (ATF) Specimen Book. Considered by many to be the culmination of specimen printing, it is an important, and massive volume, documenting the culture of printing, advertising, and typography in the early 20th century. This issue is optimized for mobile devices. This work is in the public domain. Digitized by David Armstrong/Sevanti Letterpress.

 

indestructible type* is joining the Cowboy Collective by making free and open-source digital revivals of classic American typefaces. Copperplate Gothic is a perfect starting place because despite its ubiquity and public domain nature, a free digital revival has yet to be made.
