FONTLOG for the Noticia Text font family
|
|
|
|
This file provides detailed information on the Notica Text font
|
|
Software.
|
|
|
|
This information should be distributed along with the Noticia Text
|
|
font and any derivative works.
|

|
|
Basic Font Information
|
|
|
|
Noticia Text is a contemporary humanist slab serif typeface
|
|
designed to be used for running text on digital newspapers
|
|
(both on websites and mobile apps). It has a large x-height,
|
|
ample proportions, big serifs and large apertures that allow
|
|
the letters to be clear, even at small sizes on low
|
|
resolution screens. The capitals are unusually small,
|
|
allowing them to be used as substitutes for small caps.
|
|
(Its recommended to add some tracking if used in
|
|
this way.)
|
|
|
|
One major feature is the break in the internal curves of
|
|
round characters. While this break makes some interesting
|
|
forms at large sizes, their true purpose is to help
|
|
make the counterforms more open at small sizes by allowing
|
|
straighter stems. This reasoning is famously known as
|
|
W.A. Dwiggins' “M-formula.”
|
|
|
|
The italics were designed to contrast with the roman
|
|
styles while maintaining good legibility. The true italic
|
|
forms also have big counterforms and simple curves.
|
|
|
|
The fonts have been manually hinted to get the best
|
|
possible rasterization in Windows.
|
|
|
|
The Noticia font family project is envisioned as 18 different
|
|
fonts styles, with text, condensed, display and sans
|
|
variants, different weights and including italic versions,
|
|
all designed and hinted to work well on computer and
|
|
mobile devices screens.
