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.

Bitter 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
