FONTLOG for the Signika fonts
|
||
|
||
This file provides detailed information on the Signika
|
||
Font Software.
|
||
|
||
This information should be distributed along with the
|
||
Signika fonts and any derivative works.
|
||
|
||
Basic Font Information
|
||
|
||
Signika is a sans-serif with a gentle character, developed for wayfinding,
|
||
signage, and other media where clarity of information is required.
|
||
Its low contrast and tall x-height help readability of texts
|
||
in small sizes and in large distances from the reader.
|
||
|
||
All weights from Light to Bold have alternative Negative
|
||
versions created to compensate for the effect of juxtaposed
|
||
positive and negative text setting, where a white text
|
||
on a dark background tends to look bolder than a dark
|
||
text on a white background.
|
||
|
||
The typeface comes with a wide character set supporting
|
||
over 220 languages including most of the Latin-based European languages,
|
||
some African languages, and Vietnamese. It offers advanced typographic
|
||
tools like ligatures, small caps, and case sensitive punctuation.
|
||
There are two sets of figures and currency symbols: shorter,
|
||
for long-form reading, and taller, fully-aligned with capitals,
|
||
for signage and titling. Since the 2020 update,
|
||
Signika also includes 250 pictograms and 60 combinable arrows.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Signika is a Unicode typeface family that supports
|
||
languages that use the Latin script and its variants,
|
||
and could be expanded to support other scripts.
