DescriptionClarendon comparison with body text faces.png |
English: A digitisation of Monotype Modern with three fonts inspired by this style of design. At the bottom, Haas Clarendon shows reduced contrast and a wide, display-oriented structure. The text faces Century Schoolbook and especially Linotype Excelsior have text-oriented structures with narrower letterforms and smaller serifs than the Clarendon, but they show reduced contrast and more open letterforms to increase legibility compared to the Modern, particularly visible on Excelsior’s ‘e’, ‘c’ and ‘a’. The Modern face would not have seemed so high in contrast in print at small sizes. (For specimen images of these faces in metal type, see Hutt.) Yes, I know Quercus robur should be in italics (it couldn't be as Haas Clarendon doesn't have italics)–it wasn't a great choice of sample text. |
