FONTLOG for the Domine fonts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file provides detailed information on the Domine Font Software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This information should be distributed along with the Domine fonts and any
|
||
|
|
derivative works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Basic Font Information:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the very first steps in the design process 'Domine' was designed, tested
|
||
|
|
and optimized for body text on the web. It shines at 14 and 16 px. And can
|
||
|
|
even be used as small as 11, 12 or 13px.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Harmless to the eyes when reading long texts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Domine is a perfect choice for newspapers or magazines websites, where text is
|
||
|
|
the main focus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is friendly in appearance because it combines the classic elements of
|
||
|
|
familiar typefaces that have been in use from more than 100 years like
|
||
|
|
Clarendon, Century, Cheltenham and Clearface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The rounded letters (b, c, d, e, o, p, q) are a bit squarish on the inside.
|
||
|
|
This feature opens up the counters for better rendering and also make it
|
||
|
|
look a bit more up-to-date than the classic typefaces previously referenced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The serifs are a bit shorter than usual. Another feature that improves the
|
||
|
|
rendering by allowing more "air" between each letter pair.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The joins of the stems to the branches in letters like h, m, n are deep
|
||
|
|
enough to prevent dark spots, also improving legibility at small sizes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The friendly lowercase 'a', with the curve starting from the bottom of the
|
||
|
|
stem, is reminiscent of Cheltenham and Clearface. That soft curve is also
|
||
|
|
echoed in the curves of the f, j, n, m and r.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The spacing is also optimized for body text on the web, clearly more open
|
||
|
|
than that of typefaces made for print or for headlines.
