Fedra Serif has two versions: one with short ascenders and descenders (stems) and low contrast, and one with longer stemps and more contrast. Version A’s large x-height and short stem length match the proportions of Fedra Sans. It is a low-contrast typeface that performs well in small sizes and in low-resolution print.
Version B has longer stems, taller capitals, and an increased contrast between thick and thin parts. It would typically be used in high-resolution off set printing. Both versions share the same letter widths and kerning pairs, so they can be interchanged without causing disruption.
All weights of Fedra Serif have five different kinds of numerals. Included in the roman set are text figures (fig. 1) for use in running text. Tabular figures (fig. 2), for use with capital letters or in tables where numbers need to be aligned vertically, are in a separate TF font. Small Caps figures (fig. 3) are contained in a special font that matches the proportions of the SC glyphs. And superscript and subscript figures (fig. 4) are included in the expert font for use in fractions, footnotes, etc.
In addition to this, our OpenType fonts include also tabular text figures, and regular lining figures — all in all six sets of numerals.
