Publisher: Schizotype FontsVulpa is a captivating serif family in routine, italic and bold, informed by the proportions of a personal favorite, Plantin. The quirky foxtail terminals (motivated in part by my script typeface, Gelato Script) can be seen across all three designs. These little information make the typeface very expressive at display screen sizes, however almost vanish at text sizes, producing a very versatile face.
Across the three designs there are a number of helpful OpenType features that make Vulpa efficient in requiring typographic work, although there are just 3 designs. Routine, italic and strong are all you really need anyway! The regular and strong weights both include small caps, and the italic functions swash capitals for most letters. The italic likewise includes quaint discretionary ligatures, and all designs include basic ligatures, automated portions, proportional and tabular, lining and oldstyle figures.
If this isn't enough, the Vulpa household also includes Ornaments and Drop-Cap typefaces. There is an accessory for A to B, a to b and 0 to 9. These have actually been carefully designed to match the feel of the text typefaces, and many are influenced by accessories and fleurons from the ATF 1912 Type Specimen book. The drop-caps have actually an engraved appearance, and two color variations can be made by overlaying upper and lower case.
Despite the absence of weights compared to ‘‘ workhorse' deals with, the charm and flexibility of Vulpa make it a really useful typeface, that I hope you'll delight in utilizing as much as I took pleasure in making.
