OpenType Layout features
Case Sensitive forms (case)
When function ‘change to caps’ is applied from within an application (not when text is typed in caps) appropriate case-sensitive forms are automatically applied. Regular brackets, parenthesis, dashes and hyphens are replaced with their capital forms.

Small Capitals & All Small Caps (smcp & c2sc)
In Adobe applications there are two methods of applying small capitals. The first one, Small Caps (
H) fig. 1 replaces only lower case letters with small caps. The second method, All Small Caps, fig. 2 replaces also capital letters with small capitals, and replaces regular quotation marks, exclamation points and question marks, slashes and asterisk with lowered small caps variations.

Standard Ligatures (liga)
Standard ligatures are those which are designed to improve the kerning and readability of certain letter pairs. For example, when this feature is activated, typing ‘f’ and ‘i’ will automatically produce the ‘fi’ ligature. Using ligatures does not affect the spelling and hyphenation of your text in any way.

Arbitrary Fractions (frac)
Typotheque OpenType fonts already include a number of pre-designed fractions. Other arbitrary fractions are easily made by using the fraction feature.

Discretionary Ligatures (dlig)
Brioni includes handy features such as replacing hyphen and greater than/less than signs with real arrows, or automatic activation of circled numerals by enclosing them in parenthesis when the discretionary ligature feature is activated. Brackets activate alternative inverse enclosed numerals. Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications.

Superscript / superiors (sups)
Replaces all styles of figures (old style, tabular, lining) and letters with their superior alternates, which can be used for footnotes, formulas, etc. Superior characters are more legible than mathematically scaled characters, have a similar stroke weight, are spaced more generously, and better complement the rest of the text.

Subscript / inferiors (sinf)
Replaces all styles of figures (old style, tabular, lining) and letters with their inferior alternates, used primarily for mathematical or chemical notation. Inferior characters are more legible than mathematically scaled characters, have a similar stroke weight, are spaced more generously, and better complement the rest of the text.

Stylistic Sets (ss01)
Brioni includes some alternative characters which can be activated by turning on ‘stylistic sets’. They make for an easy access to open brackets and paranthesis.

Slashed Zero (zero)
Because in some circumstances ‘0’, can be mistaken for an ‘O’, alternative forms of ‘slashed zero’ are available for all styles of figures.
