Publisher: Canada TypeThe Player family started as a straight-forward revival of a movie face called Ivy League, an early 1970s VGC classic that was popular with designers of sports stuff. A few hundred liters of coffee later on, the revival of a single condensed font style has actually ended up being an 11-font ambitious effort at being latest thing in athletic lettering.
For the serious athletic jersey and sports collateral designer, here are a few of the benefits the Gamer family has more than other "college" and "university" font styles:
.- 3 widths and 3 weight enable player names of any length to be accommodated. Long gamer names don't need to be cramped above or warped around the numbers anymore, and brief gamer names can be sightly and legible while occupying the very same space as other names.
.- Two details fonts that were not done mechanically, but manually and very thoroughly built with no filter shadows or loose points. Every stroke was determined and accounted for both mathematically and optically, and some kinds were redrawn to remain aesthetically appealing in an open design.
.- Integrated alternate forms for A, E, F, R, S, V and W, the most frequently varying letters in between athletic lettering font styles. For example, there are four different forms of the letter A: One topped up with 2 serifs, one with simply the left top serif, one with no top serifs at all, and one with straight sides.
.- An extremely broadened character set of over 530 characters in each of the 11 typefaces. This implies support for Western, Central, and Eastern European languages, in addition to Baltic, Celtic/Welsh, Cyrillic/Russian, Esperanto, Greek, Maltese, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
.- A cross-platform Open Type family entitled Gamer Pro, with alternates configured for automated alternative at the push of a button in OT-supporting programs.
