Basic Font Information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Capriola is a sans-serif typeface whose unique style draws upon
|
||
|
|
forms seen in handwriting and italic types. Skeletons of the most
|
||
|
|
characteristic glyphs are inspired by quick handwriting and based
|
||
|
|
on a single hand movement (G,a,g,k,e). Capriola ambitiously seeks
|
||
|
|
to push the boundaries of originality in the genre without losing
|
||
|
|
legibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The unusual glyphs are quite noticeable in large sizes which allows
|
||
|
|
for distinctive headlines. However in small sizes these gestures
|
||
|
|
become less noticeable making it possible to set longer texts. The
|
||
|
|
name "Capriola" means somersault in English. Such glyphs as "a",
|
||
|
|
"e" or "G" are the real acrobats and the "g" makes a double salto!
|
||
|
|
Capriola was spaced for web. Capriola's originality combined
|
||
|
|
with utility makes it ideal for a wide range of uses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Capriola is a Unicode typeface family that supports languages that use
|
||
|
|
the Latin script and its variants, and could be expanded to support
|
||
|
|
other scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More specifically, this release supports the following Unicode ranges:
|
||
|
|
Latin-1, Latin-2: Eastern Europe, Turkish, Macintosh Character Set
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
