A friend sent me an email about a grad student in England completing a project in typography. Hmmm....why does she think I'm interested in typeface???....since she has an exquisite mind...I figured I better read the email one more time to make sure I wasn't missing something.Ahh....now I get it!
A student designed a new typeface (apparently this is really hard work) and named it Gina.
He says:
My practical project for the MATD program is a family of OpenType fonts called Gina.
Gina is a typeface with a robust texture and an extensive set of glyphs that have a distinct, legible appearance. The Gina family includes Greek and accented characters, mathematical symbols, alternate forms, italic and small cap styles, and more.
I decided I liked me.....robust....a lot of glyphs (I prefer not to know the real meaning of this word) ...distinctive and legible. Throw in some Greek....a few accents ...and be ready for alternative forms...
I would say he's pretty much right on target.
