Work from the ma Typeface Design class of 2008 at the University of Reading

MA Typeface Design class of 2008

We all came to Reading from different places at different stages of our lives, but we each brought with us an enthusiasm for type and a thirst for learning. Over the course of this short year we have learned far more than we had anticipated. This booklet exhibits the eleven typefaces that are the culmination of our year’s efforts, but even the work shown here represents only a small fraction of the skills which we have developed, and the adventures we have been through. The aim of this booklet is to convey a small portion of the richness of our experience. We hope you will appreciate these typefaces as much as we enjoyed designing them.

Approximately how many?£38 for six months!

Nabil � �����

Nabil is a contemporary text typeface family in three

styles: Regular, Italic and ��� (Arabic). �e family will be

expanded with a Bold version for both scripts, as well as an

extended Arabic character set.�e Nabil family supports the

typesetting of Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and most languages

using the Latin script. �/� ��

�e Latin design was influ-enced by the text typefaces

of the nineteenth century, featuring a vertical stress and

a high contrast modulation. As a seriffed typeface

designed for newspaper text setting, it also developed fea-

tures specifically required for newsprint as economy, read-ability and sturdiness. Nabil

has a relatively large x-height, short ascenders and descend-

ers, open counters, prominent and well-defined serifs.

�e Arabic design was con-ceived as an independent

typeface, carefully designed to fit the traditional propor-

tions of the script and not the design choices and propor-

tions of its Latin companion.

In an effort to promote stronger reading skills Theodore recognizes the needs of children in this age range. Theodore’s greek complements were created with the same intentions and confidence as the Latin. This creates seamless compatibility, but the Greek will also stand well on its own.

Ingeborgwas designed with the intent of producing a readable modern face.

Its roots might well be historic, but its approach is very contemporary.

¶ Ingeborg’s Text Weights are functional and discreet. This was achieved without losing the classic characteristics of a Didone typeface, which are the vertical stress and the high contrast. ¶ The Display Weights on the other hand are designed to fulfil their

job and catch the reader’s eye by individual form language and a whole lot of ink on the page. ¶ Nevertheless both are of one origin and work together in harmony.

��� ������, Charles Martel (Car-olus Martellus in Latin, lived from ca. ��� – �� October ���) was proclaimed Mayor of the Palace and ruled the Franks as a titular King. Late in his reign, he proclaimed himself Duke of the Franks (the last four years of his reign he did not even bother with the façade of a King) and by any name was de facto ruler of the Frankish Realms. In ��� he was offered an office of Ro-man consul by the Pope, which he rejected possibly not to conflict with Theodatus Ursus, appointed to the of-fice by Byzantine emperor Leo ��� the Isaurian. He expanded his rule over all of the Frankish kingdoms: Austra-

He is best re-membered for winning the Battle of Tours in ���, which has traditionally been characterized as an event that halted the Islamic expansionism in Europe that had conquered Iberia.

“Charles’s victory has often been re-garded as decisive for world history…”

Mina is a contemporary news-paper typeface with a sturdy and organic character. Robustness and strength help make Mina be a workhorse. Its strong colour in text is ideally suited to high-speed printing conditions. A low stroke contrast gives the old style typeface almost the appearance of a slab serif. The serifs’ styles are calligraphic and asymmetric, as well as well-defined. Though heavy in weight, these serifs give the letterforms a lively character. This feature allows Mina to be the perfect partner for magazine typesetting. Mina is very legible in small text sizes and easy to read in long texts. The typeface is economic – its x-height is large, the capitals are low in height and its decenders are short. The Latin version of Mina was designed together with a Telugu (South India) version, also with newspaper printing in mind. The Telugu script’s extremely round shapes have played an influence on the shapes of the Roman and the Italic. Mina’s Latin extended character set for the Regular, Italic and Bold – as well as the �� Telugu version – are still in progress.
