Mastadoni was designed by Dave Rowland and released by Schizotype. Mastadoni includes 10 styles and household plan choices. p > Mastadoni is a strong headliner/masthead typeface, with high vertical contrast in a Didone style. That's the beginning point a minimum of. There's a lot more to this font than another modern clone. It is a specialized (just one weight) typeface that comes in five optical grades. Use G1 at really large sizes and G5 at smaller sized sizes. The grades can be combined so that the thins of type set at various point sizes appear the same thickness - a very useful function for magazine layouts. Optical grades could also be utilized in circumstances where a logo needs to be size-specific; the text on your restaurant sign can afford to be more fragile than that on your coffee cups.

This is a typeface with a big x-height, small cap-height and stubby ascenders and descenders, which contribute to an overall appearance somewhat different from should Didones, and produce some fascinating layout possibilities in tight spaces.

Mastadoni features a number of helpful OpenType features. All font styles include standard ligatures and automated fractions. In the discretionary ligature feature, you'll discover the Schizotype preferred 'percent off' glyph. Just type '% ff' with dlig engaged and there it is! Case-sensitive kinds are available in all the fonts. The contextual alternates include performs a subtle trick that fixes an optical illusion where two ascenders next to each other seem different heights.

The Roman and Italic designs have a various group of stylistic sets as follows:

Roman: SS01 substitutes a less ornamental 4; SS02 is a different eszett; SS03 substitues the # with an attractive numero glyph; and SS04 gives an alternate K.

Italic: SS01 and SS03 are the exact same as in the Romans; SS02 offers you more bulbous variations of v, w, and y letters; SS04 is a single storey g; SS05 modifications C, G and S to non-ball-terminal varieties; and SS06 modifications the swash variations of E, L, N and Q (when the swash function is engaged).

Speaking of the swash function, the italic font styles include swash capitals from A to Z, and swash variations for lower case h k m n v w and z.

Lastly, the discretionary ligature feature in the italic font styles has vi, wi, KA and RA ligatures.

Mastadoni is a typeface that would find itself right away in the house in shiny publications, while offering a different visual scheme from the more standard options of Didones.
