Basic Font Information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Diplomata started several years ago when a friend in the printing
|
||
|
|
industry who had an old metal typeface wanted it to be digitalized for
|
||
|
|
offset printing. He brought everything the original type offered as a
|
||
|
|
start, a set of upper case characters, numbers, and some punctuation
|
||
|
|
marks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But what he brought in printed form was not enough to meet his needs,
|
||
|
|
and letterforms that did not exist had to be created. It is a fine job
|
||
|
|
to reinterpret a design, to make decisions on what already exists and
|
||
|
|
also have in mind the changes needed for the new technological context
|
||
|
|
where Diplomata will be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its style, similar to Bodoni, has a remarkable degree of horizontal
|
||
|
|
expansion; a weight which indicates verticality; areas between serif
|
||
|
|
and stem softened by a curve connecting them, and the light in the
|
||
|
|
main stroke of each glyph is a detail that lightens up and gives
|
||
|
|
prominence to Diplomata. It is a distinct typeface, ideal for
|
||
|
|
composing headlines and small prestigious pieces of text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To improve and expand the use of Diplomata, it was necessary to create
|
||
|
|
small caps and a lower case, which ended up constituting this family
|
||
|
|
that has two variables today.
