Mastadoni is a vibrant headliner/masthead typeface, with high vertical contrast in a Didone design. That's the starting point at least. There's much more to this font than another contemporary clone. It is a specialized (only one weight) typeface that can be found in five optical grades. Usage G1 at extremely large sizes and G5 at smaller sized sizes. The grades can be integrated so that the thins of type set at different point sizes appear the exact same thickness - an extremely beneficial feature for magazine layouts. Optical grades might also be used in situations where a logo design requires to be size-specific; the text on your restaurant indication can afford to be more delicate than that on your coffee cups.
This is a typeface with a huge x-height, small cap-height and stubby ascenders and descenders, which add to a general look somewhat various from needs to Didones, and produce some intriguing layout possibilities in tight areas.
Mastadoni includes a number of helpful OpenType functions. All typefaces consist of standard ligatures and automatic fractions. In the discretionary ligature function, you'll find the Schizotype preferred "percent off" glyph. Simply type ‘‘% ff' with dlig engaged and there it is! Case-sensitive kinds are available in all the typefaces. The contextual alternates include carries out a subtle trick that fixes an optical illusion where 2 ascenders next to each other appear to be various heights.
The Roman and Italic designs have a different group of stylistic sets as follows:
Roman: SS01 substitutes a less decorative 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 very same as in the Romans; SS02 gives you more round versions of v, w, and y letters; SS04 is a single storey g; SS05 changes C, G and S to non-ball-terminal ranges; and SS06 modifications the swash variations of E, L, N and Q (when the swash feature is engaged).
Speaking of the swash feature, the italic fonts 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 function in the italic typefaces has vi, wi, KA and RA ligatures.
