I drew my typeface Arouet to lend body text as well as titling sizes a voice of authority with a warm heart.
Specs for the typographic specialists (a.k.a. The Kantenschleifer):
• Comes in the weights Black, Bold, Regular and Light.
• Language support for Latin Extended-A plus complete Cyrillic
• Elegant, long ascenders and descenders that can be separately turned into extremely short extenders for very dense text like dictionaries, bibles etc.
• Small caps with small cap figures
• Proportional lining figures, old style figures and tabular lining figures
• Each of the sets of numerals come with their own set of currency symbols, math characters and punctuation marks.
• Alternative “Petite” characters to keep apertures and counters open in very small text sizes
• Rich in subtle details to keep character shapes charming, even in very large size.
• Decisively cut shapes and distribution of weight that keeps Arouet’s flavor present even in small body text sizes while avoiding a distractingly decorative presence.
Much gratitude goes to Zrinka Buljubašić of Dualtype for being my patient Cyrillic teacher.
