The default style is still low contrast, which is 124, at the “high” end of the horizontal stroke-thickness scale.ħ7% done glyph design work. Instead of going from 0 – 100 (low to high) it goes from 18 to 124 (high to low contrast) representing the thickness of capital horizontal strokes, in thousandths of an em, at the default Medium weight. Made significant org/name changes to the former Contrast axis, now called “Y Opaque” ('YOPQ' axis tag). fix bugs and address any issues discoveredĩ8.5% done glyph design work 14 October 2019.create the Slant axis, slanted glyphs, and add form change for just a very few (/a for certain, maybe /f).We are now entering the endgame! For the next three weeks or so, we will: Just a few details here and there to fix.
Kerning classes have all been created kerning is well underway.Mainly diagonal strokes (think: A K N M R 2 4 7 & ?) and big curves (not many in this typeface, but they include: D 6 9) Have started editing glyphs to tweak their shapes where slant does too much distortion of weight or stroke.This has generated a fair number of bugs for some glyphs in their slanted versions, but nothing unmanageable. Slant axis is enabled! Note the form change for /a and /f when they get more than half slanted.Just about done fixing all issues identified by FontBakery.Only a small handful of bugs left at this point.Our process for building fonts from our FontLab VFC/VFJ sources > UFO > FontMake > TTF (variable font) is now documented here: Release Notes Or just ask questions on social media, whatever. You can file an issue right here in Github at. Get the latest working variable font here: Bugs
GOTHIC TYPEFACE DOWNLOAD
(Particularly major updates are described below, but not every update.) DOWNLOAD THE VARIABLE FONT Occasionally we previously generated fonts corresponding to masters and instances, but these have not been not maintained going forward. Generated versions include UFO source files, and variable TTF end-user fonts. Source files are in multiple formats: FontLab VFJ (vector font JSON) format, FontLab VFC (binary) format. This repo is where development and updates to this project can be found. Special thanks to Igor Freiberger for his early contributions.
Science Gothic is a team effort, by Thomas Phinney, Brandon Buerkle and Vassil Kateliev.
GOTHIC TYPEFACE PLUS
Science Gothic adds four design axes (extreme weight and width, plus contrast and slant), a lowercase, and extensive language coverage. The medium weight is based closely on Morris Fuller Benton’s Bank Gothic (1930–34) by Morris Fuller Benton for American Typefounders. It has extreme weight and width variation, as well as contrast and slant options. Science Gothic™ is a san serif variable font.
