Basic Font Information
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
People read and interact with text on screens more and more
|
|||
|
|
each day. What happens on screen ends up being more important
|
|||
|
|
than what comes out of the printer. With the accelerating
|
|||
|
|
popularity of electronic books, type designers are working
|
|||
|
|
hard to seek out the ideal designs for reading on screen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Motivated by my love for the pixel I designed Bitter.
|
|||
|
|
A "contemporary" slab serif typeface for text, it is
|
|||
|
|
specially designed for comfortably reading on any
|
|||
|
|
computer or device. The robust design started from
|
|||
|
|
the austerity of the pixel grid, based on rational
|
|||
|
|
rather than emotional principles. It combines the
|
|||
|
|
large x-heights and legibility of the humanistic
|
|||
|
|
tradition with subtle characteristics in the
|
|||
|
|
characters that inject a certain rhythm to
|
|||
|
|
flowing texts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bitter has little variation in stroke weight and
|
|||
|
|
the Regular is thicker than a normal ‘Regular’
|
|||
|
|
style for print design. This generates an intense
|
|||
|
|
color in paragraphs, accentuated by the serifs
|
|||
|
|
that are as thick as strokes with square terminals.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Each glyph is carefully designed with an excellent
|
|||
|
|
curve quality added to the first stage of the
|
|||
|
|
design, that was entirely made in a pixel grid.
|
|||
|
|
The typeface is balanced and manually spaced to use
|
|||
|
|
very few kerning pairs, especially important for web
|
|||
|
|
font use since most browsers do not currently support
|
|||
|
|
this feature.
