Designer: Bertram Kaiser' Humanista' is the name of an italic (chancery) font by Bertram Kaiser. The concept in this long-term task was to mix the boundaries in between analogue calligraphic handwriting and creating a typeface digitally, while using all technical possibilities of modern-day type style. All glyphs were initially composed with a broadnib and then carefully vectorized, creating a human charme inside the font. In this style you will discover influences from great calligraphy masters like Hermann Zapf or Werner Schneider. The pro version occurs with a huge range of alternate glyphs, initial and terminal forms, swash capitals and ligatures, which gives you the possibility of creating individual text layouts. Inside the typeface you will likewise discover a set of italic roman capitals plus fitting characters and interpunction, which can be treated like a typeface itself. You can trigger them through the Open-Type menue (stylistic-set 4) or set by hand via the glyphs window (ADOBE applications). When utilizing the function ' swashletters' make sure to likewise trigger the function 'contextual alternates' to get an enticing textdesign with rotating swashletters. This typeface can be utilized for screen sizes along with for smaller textsizes like on Invitationcards or in magazines.
