New styles for the fall (3)

Jennerik is a very simple, monoline serif font. The plain version was originally created to print rough drafts on ink-jet printers. Because it is mildly condensed and quite thin, it saved on the use of paper and ink. Bold and extrabold versions were added before the typeface was offered for sale.

A recent revision takes this typeface family from three members to eight. A new weight, light, is added and then italic versions of all weights were added. The italic versions of the lower case letters had been created many years ago but never added to this family. Instead the forms were kept upright and combined with some unusual caps to form a new family.

 Along with the addition of new family members, the family received some OpenType features.

The name reflects its simple, unpretentious style.

The Jabced family is an attempt to do a standard, serif typeface family suitable for large blocks of text. It works but will never challenge the commonly-used faces for this purpose and its price reflects that. The recent revision added two new weights, semibold and extrabold.

 In addition, the update added several OpenType features.

Updating the Yngreena family added a light weight to both Yngreena and YngreenaAlt.  Yngreena and YngreenaAlt differ in about ten characters. Examples are the Y, g and t in the picture below. The former is more exuberant and the latter is more restrained and therefore better for text.

 Included with the Yngreena family is an extrabold striped version that I did long ago and included on myfonts. I took the opportunity of the revision to change it so it would better work in layers with the unstriped extrabold version.

Some but not all weights support OpenType inferiors, superiors, and fractions.

New styles for Fall (1)

I have added more weights to several typefaces. First up is the revision of the Youbee family that adds two new weights, light and semibold.

The revision adds a number of OpenType features to all weights including some discretionary ligatures and superscript and subscript numbers. The superscript and subscript numbers can, with the OpenType fraction feature, be used to form fractions if the application supports this feature.

The revision of the TiredOfCourier family adds a semibold weight to the existing three weights.

The fonts in the family have some added characters, including common fractions and superscripts and subscripts that also can be used to form any fractions with the OpenType fraction feature. The OpenType feature of stylistic alternatives provides easy access to most of the picture or icon elements that are included in the regular style. (These pictures and icons are not included in most of the other weights.)
