Designer: Fabrizio SchiaviC.P. Company communication makes usage of media such as the press and the web and that's the reason that we have always felt the need for a font that would disappoint incongruities through the monitor.
Therefore we have actually decided to alter the structure of glyphs like a, e, g, s. in the most contrasted versions to avoid the serifs from touching the internal parts of the letters and in this manner we have actually made a truly uncommon stylistic choice for a group of types.
The difference between the height of caps and smalls is extremely low (about 20%) so that the smalls are easy to check out even when their dimensions are on a very small scale. Furthermore this stylistic service offers the possibility to avoid utilizing the small capitals in case of charts and brochure codes (i.e. Tricot M5) and offers more vertical density between the lines.
Even a sentence composed in uppercase next to another one composed in smalls does not look so much contrasted from a typographical perspective and then it is not unpleasant.
The limits due to different useful concepts have actually been overcome by ways of a grid based on the automatic division of EM square of 9-point type and in this manner the letters have a wider face.
The typeface is a lot more unusual owing to the style selected that comes from the classical custom of hair-lined types for glyphs like e and also thanks to ligatures like fi in the characters set.
CP Company is a geometrical font whose alphabet uses the design of types that preceded the Helvetica, matched with more experimental and upgraded solutions.
Numbering is monospaced. The flexing of number 2, the minor raising of the oblique serif of number 4 and the presence of a hair-line in number 7 are the solutions adopted to make the types match in a more balanced way.
