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.

Fedra Sans In Use

Design Concept

Fedra Sans reflects the original design brief: it humanises the communicated message and adds simple, informal elegance. An important criterion was to create a typeface that works equally well on paper and on the computer screen. The typeface attempts to reconcile two opposing design approaches: the rigidity of a typeface designed for the computer screen and the flexibility of handwriting. Fedra Sans is an extraordinarily versatile typeface, and it has been successfully used for highly demanding projects such as airport signage, car navigation, dictionaries and even bible typesetting.

International Typography

Fedra Sans is truly a global citizen. Besides the Latin, the font family also supports Armenian, Bengali, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Canadian Syllabics, Tamil and Thai writing scripts, supporting over two billion native speakers. Chinese, Japanese and Korean will be coming soon.

Fedra Sans, International Typography

Two Flavours

Fedra Sans includes some unusually shaped characters, which became identifiable characteristics of the typeface. It was mainly the prolonged ‘f’, the open ‘6’, ‘9’, ‘b’, ‘P’, and the diamond-shaped dots that have added to the identity of Fedra Sans. The alternative version of Fedra Sans removes those peculiarities as well as a dozen other features for the sake of consistency. Choose one according to how much spark your text needs.

Numeral Styles

Each weight of Fedra Sans includes eight different kinds of numerals. Proportional lining figures come as default figures in Fedra Sans. It also, however, includes Old-style figures, Tabular numerals (both Lining and Old-style), superior, inferior, circled and circled inverted numerals. For the running text, old-style figures work best; for capital setting, use lining figures available via OpenType layout features. When you take a licence of this font, you can choose the default numeral variants inside the fonts.
