In June of 2004, Canada Type released Crucifix, a condensed three-tiers typeface that attempted to bridge the gap in between traditional blackletter types and the conventional European gothics. The primary objective of Crucifix was to have as numerous as 4 different variations on each letter kind, so the original release included 3 fonts: a main font with a basic character set, a small caps set, and a unicase variation.
Now Canada Type provides the next generation of this typeface: Crucifix 2.0 and Crucifix Pro. This new variation makes the most of both Unicode and OpenType technologies to make Crucifix as versatile as ever. The PostScript Type 1 and the Real Type version boast extended Latin character set assistance, including Western, Eastern and Central European, Turkish and Baltic, along with two non-Latin scripts: Cryillic and Greek. The OpenType version, Crucifix Pro, goes even additional by including all of above in one font, along with proper automation to accommodate on-the-fly ligatures, small caps, numerators, denominators, some portions and a lot of stylistic and contextual alternates - all configured to work with the most recent OpenType-enabled programs.
Unique, stark, and with more than 900 characters, Crucifix has that clinical sharpness and unique dramatic wonder to make it best for mystery, gothic, and horror design settings.
