Tasman includes 14 styles and household package alternatives. p > Initially published by OurType, Dan Milne's Tasman has actually found a brand-new home at Retype. Milne initially conceived Tasman as a typeface for newspapers. This influenced the proportions and appearance of the face considerably: the goal was to keep the character as warm and playful as possible without losing the trustworthy tone required to provide all type of news.

A sturdy, warm type household that is neither mechanical nor delicate. It obtains its name from Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603-- 1659), a Dutch seafarer, explorer, and merchant who mapped parts of Australia in 1642, including Van Diemen's Land (now understood as Tasmania).

Tasman's primary purpose is an objective presentation of info; it pursues neutrality over beauty. Its characters are tough and unambiguous, sporting strong serifs, punctuation, and diacritics, along with kindly sized little caps and hybrid figures.
