Small was motivated by Émile Javal's research study into the physiology of reading. He was a 19th-century opthalmologist, the first to analyze how we read.
Minuscule qualities are big x-height, robust slab serifs, vertical tension, open structure, huge counters, low contrast.
Small is a typeface for exceptionally little sizes, and can be utilized under the commonly acknowledged limit of legibility (around 7 points). At this stage, the loss is so essential during the shift to a lower size that I quickly decided to develop a master for each size. 5 versions have actually been established, optimized for an use in 6 (Tiny 6), 5 (
Minuscule Cinq), 4 (Small Quatre), 3 (Tiny Trois) and 2 pts (Tiny Deux).
Minuscule got the Certificate of Excellence in Type Style from the Type Directors Club New York City, in the TDC2 2005 Type Style Competitors (classification Text).
