Explanation
OVERVIEW This is the revised and improved version of Novecento, an uppercase-only font family inspired on european typographic tendencies between the second half of 19th century and first half of the 20th.It looks rational and geometric. However, it is optically corrected and balanced. This font face is designed to be used mostly for headlines, visual identities or short sentences, both in big and small sizes. Lighter faces provide a more contemporary and design look&feel, while the bolder ones definitely look retro.Novecento family was kerned with love and patience; each font has between 1030 and 1090 kerning pairs.Novecento is available both in opentype format (.otf) and as a webfont (@fontface). OPENTYPE FEATURES CASESet All-Caps to get colon and semicolon glyphs centered.DNOM & NUMRSmall 0 to 9 figures to get proper weight numerators (aligned to cap height) and denominators (aligned to baseline).FRACCustom fractions generation featureSUPSSmall 0 to 9 figures to get proper weight superiors.LOCLRomanian and Polish advanced diacritics support. Just select your text language to activate the localized accents.SS01 / SALTAlternate Q letter shape for ultra narrow line heights.Implemented both as Stylistic Set n1 (ss01) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS02 / SALTAlternate N letter shape. Implemented both as Stylistic Set n2 (ss02) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS03 / SALTAlternate I letter shape. Implemented both as Stylistic Set n3 (ss03) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS04 / SALTAlternate J letter shape. Implemented both as Stylistic Set n4 (ss04) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS05 / SALTAlternate Y letter shape. Implemented both as Stylistic Set n5 (ss05) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.TNUM / PNUMTabular/proportional figures set. Figures of same width always align, despite of their weight.ZERO / SALTSlashed zero alternate glyph, works with tabular and proportional figures, numerators, denominators and superiors. Implemented both as Zero as Salt to maximize compatibility between applications.
