In its most general sense, the term ‘world' refers to the totality of entities, to the whole of reality or to everything that is. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique while others talk of a 'plurality of worlds'. Some treat the world as one simple object while others analyze the world as a complex made up of many parts. In scientific cosmology the world or universe is commonly defined as 'the totality of all space and time; all that is, has been, and will be'. Theories of modality, on the other hand, talk of possible worlds as complete and consistent ways how things could have been. Phenomenology, starting from the horizon of co-given objects present in the periphery of every experience, defines the world as the biggest horizon or the 'horizon of all horizons'. In philosophy of mind, the world is commonly contrasted with the mind as that which is represented by the mind. Theology conceptualizes the world in relation to God, for example, as God’s creation, as identical to God or as the two being interdependent. In religions, there is often a tendency to downgrade the material or sensory world in favor of a spiritual world to be sought through religious practice. A comprehensive representation of the world and our place in it, as is commonly found in religions, is known as a worldview. Cosmogony is the field that studies the origin or creation of the world while eschatology refers to the science or doctrine of the last things or of the end of the world.

Elementar In Use

Design Concept

Elementar is a parametric font system designed to bring more typographic flexibility to digital screens. Elementar embraces and explores the unique properties of digital media: the pixel, the coarse resolution grid, and the dimension of time. The Elementar font system consists of thousands of individual fonts in a continuum of different styles, sizes, weights and widths.

Elementar parametric pixel fonts, design concept

Heights

Elementar is directly available in heights from 9 to 17px. Heights are measured from descender to ascender and apply only to the vertical dimension of the glyphs (non-proportional scaling). Elementar also comes with an additional set of ‘micro fonts’ in sizes between 9 and 1px for use in dynamic animated transitions.

Stroke weights

The Elementar system enables independent control of vertical and horizontal stroke weights. Elementar weights are expressed by a pair of numbers: the first for the vertical, and the second for the horizontal stroke weight (in pixels).

Widths

Finally, Elementar also has a width axis. The number of available widths varies per weight: the bolder the weight, the fewer practically applicable widths there are. The width parameter is expressed by one number, which refers to the internal space between vertical strokes.
