FONTLOG for the Bitter font
This file provides detailed information on the
Bitter font Software.
This information should be distributed along with the
Bitter fonts and any derivative works.
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.
