Case Sensitive Forms

When the ‘change to caps’ function 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.

Discretionary Ligatures

Fedra Serif Display includes over 300 titling ligatures as well as real arrows created when you type -> (right arrow), <- (left arrow), -^ (up arrow) or ^- (down arrow). Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications.

Standard Ligatures

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.

Contextual Alternates

Fedra Serif Display provides smart substitution of letters for automatic selection of appropriate alternative glyphs. For example, if a ‘g’ is followed by a character which has a serif on its left side, alternative ‘g’ with its ear pointing up is used, allowing tighter spacing and fitting in headlines.

Localised Forms

Some languages such as Bulgarian, Serbian or Macedonian prefer variant letter shapes to the standard Cyrillic shapes. This feature replaces standard forms with localized ones when the text is tagged Bulgarian, Serbian or Macedonian.

Superscript / superiors

Replaces figures and capital 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

All Small Capitals

In Adobe applications there are two methods of applying small capitals. The first one replaces only lower case letters with small caps. The second method, All Small Caps, also replaces capital letters with small caps. It also replaces regular quotation marks, exclamation points and question marks, slashes, asterisks and numerals with small caps variations.
