'Alice' (working title)

A SIL Open Font project titled 'Alice' (a working title, to be renamed at a later point) for Latin and Telugu.

Alice is a superfamily based loosely on early Grotesques — i.e. Stephenson Blake, Miller & Richard and Bauerschen Giesserei. There will be 9 weights across 5 widths. The core of the fonts are designed for on-screen medium-sized text usage (14px-48px). The fonts closer to the extreme widths and weights are designed for display use. Overall, features are simplified and optimised for screen resolutions for example, diacritic marks are larger than how they would be in print.

Source files have been partly prepared for use in Metapolator.

Note: UFOs are exported from Glyphs App and will currently not export properly due to using 'Bracket trick'.

The project started in June 2014 and the brief is to have a minimum viable product (alpha release with 9 weights) by December 2014.
