Mayence is the French name of Mainz, German city where Johannes Gutenberg was born. Itís a manuscript font inspired in the authorís calligraphy, with an angular structure, marked by a particular impulsiveness.
Besides being a continuous-line typeface, Mayence explores some deviations and imperfections in the calligraphy practice, as accumulations of paint and anomalies in the density variation, qualities which provides it more naturality.
Its primary distinction is the set of over 430 ligatures (Premium version), based upon the research and choice of essential character series, rather regular in several languages. For this, a research study was done about the diphthongs, triphthongs and di-tri-tetra-pentagraphs more common in languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Hungarian, Croatian, to name a few. Ligatures with as much as 2 characters are enabled by default and with more than 2 characters are made it possible for by the Discretionary Ligatures option.
Mayence also consists of a number of ligatures based upon common words in English and Spanish, exclusive ligatures with numbers and another requirement, discretionary, historic and Unicode ligatures. It has 9 various ampersands (&&), which can be picked by the user according to the application context. When you make it possible for the Titling Alternates (in OpenType-savvy programs), these 9 ampersand styles are transformed to their forms of seal, with different purposes of use.
The fonts have actually extended character set to support CE, Baltic, Turkish, as well as Western European languages and extra Celtic characters.
