Air Superfamily was designed by Neil Summerour and published by Positype. Air Superfamily consists of 81 styles and family package choices. p > In B-movie awesomeness, Air began as Grotesk vs. Grotesque. I was attempting to merge the prevailing qualities of German and English Grotes( que/k) s in order to make something different however familiar. I am NOT trying to reinvent Helvetica (snore), so get that out of your system. From the start, I meant this typeface to be a true workhorse that offers boundless choices and flexibility for the user. At its core, it is the maturation of the Aaux Next skeleton I established years earlier. I exercised Aaux Beside settle my problems and love for Akzidenz. With Aaux Next, I strove to be mechanical, cold and unforgiving with it. I was single, young, cocky and it fit. Now I'm married, kids, dog and have actually discovered that I have actually turned into a big softy. When I take a look at Aaux Next (and have for the past few years) I see another typeface trying to eek out. I wanted it to prevent the features of robotic sans, fast tricks and compromises. The typeface's DNA needed to be drawn and not simply created on a screen - so I reserve a year.

I love type. I love dealing with type. I dislike when my alternatives for a slanted complement is only oblique or italic. I set out to produce both to balance usage - there are ample factors to prepare both and I want the user to feel free to purposely select (and have the alternative to pick) the suitable typeface for print, web, and so on. That flexibility was central to my decision-making procedure. The Oblique is immediate and aggressive. The Italic was redrawn at a less serious angle with much more movement and, as a result, is even more congenial when paired with the Uprights.

Condensed and Compressed. Yep, why not? I understand I would use them.

There are 9 weights presently offered. The logical development of weights and the intended flexibility demanded I explore a variety of lightweight and their prospective uses - this has produced a variety of 'light without being too light' choices that actually work based upon the size. The outcome is a robust 81-font superfamily that is practical, professional, and highly readable without jeopardizing its character. Set that with over 900 characters per typeface that includes ligatures, discretionary ligatures, stylistic alternates, fractions, proportional/tabular lining and proportional/tabular oldstyle figures, numerators, denominators, ordinals, superiors, inferiors, small caps, case-sensitive functionality and comprehensive language support and you have a versatile superfamily appropriate for any project.
