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.

Greta Display Narrow In Use

Design Concept

Greta Serif Narrow is a contemporary typeface family specifically designed for the demands of newspaper printing, available in three optical sizes (Text, Display and Grande). Greta Display Narrow is optimised for compact, medium-size headlines, with increased contrast between the thick and thin strokes, tighter spacing and more refined details, and it is ideally suited to tight and effective headlines and titles. It takes up about 88% of the space of Greta Display. With its combination of text and display fonts, Greta Serif offers a complete palette of typographic choices.

Greta Display Narrow, Design Concept

Optical Sizes

Newspaper printing poses special challenges for font designers. Despite newspaper printing having undergone significant improvements, it is still inferior to most book printing and requires letter shapes which are resistant to the distortion that can be caused by high-speed web presses and cheap paper. Greta Serif, with its three optical sizes, is specifically designed to address this issue: the Text cuts are designed for the main text between the sizes of 8 and 11pt, Display cuts for headlines between 14 and 21pt, and Grande is designed for the largest titles and eye-catching graphics.

Greta Display, Optical Sizes

Symbols

Typotheque conducted a rigorous analysis of newspaper and magazine needs in order to compile a library of the shapes which are most useful in periodical publications. Greta family includes: an extended set of monetary symbols for financial information; two different sets of zodiac signs for horoscopes; basic geometric shapes, arrows, map markers and pointing hand symbols for infographics; weather symbols for weather forecasts; and chess figurines for chess transcripts. Greta also includes playing card symbols, stars, asterisks, punctuation ornaments, dingbats, and other miscellaneous symbols.

Greta Display, Symbols

Numeral styles

Each weight of Greta Display includes nine different kinds of numerals. Proportional old-style figures come as default figures in Greta. It also, however, includes lining figures, tabular numerals (both lining and old-style), small caps numerals, superior, inferior, circled and circled inverted numerals. For the running text, old-style figures work best; for capital setting, use lining figures; and for small caps, choose the specially designed Small Caps numerals applicable via OpenType layout features. When you take a licence for this font you can choose the default numeral variants inside the fonts.

    All Small Capitals

    smcp + c2sc

    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, question marks, slashes and usually also numerals with small caps variants.

    Case Sensitive Forms

    case

    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.
  • (1)

    Circled numerals and arrows

    dlig

    The discretionary ligature feature creates real arrows when you type the combination -> (right arrow), <- (left arrow), -^ (up arrow) or ^- (down arrow). It also creates enclosed numerals when you type numerals inside parenthesis, and inverse enclosed numerals when you type numerals inside brackets. Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications.
  • fi

    Standard Ligatures

    liga

    Standard ligatures are those which are designed to improve the 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.

    Proportional Old-style Figures

    onum + pnum

    Typotheque fonts contain various styles of numerals within one font. Proportional Lining Figures come standard in all our headline and newspaper fonts. Their proportions are specifically designed to work well with capital letters (for example, in headlines). The proportional Old-style Figures feature changes standard figures to Old-style Figures which work well in running text, as they have the same proportions as lower case letters with their ascenders and descenders.

    Tabular Lining Figures

    Tabular figures are for use in tables where numerals need to be aligned vertically. Tabular figures are available as a OpenType feature and have a fixed width in all weights. Typotheque fonts include both Lining and Old-style Tabular figures.

    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.
  • H1

    Inferiors

    sinf

    Bulgarian Cyrillic

    Bulgarian readers prefer to set text in a variation of Cyrillic that differs from the standard Cyrillic by using shapes of letters based on cursive handwriting, where letters are easier to tell apart. Typotheque fonts use standard Cyrillic forms as default, and Bulgarian Cyrillic is applied when the text is tagged as Bulgarian. When the Localised forms feature is not available, you can also apply the same forms by using a Stylistic Set.

    Serbian & Macedonian Cyrillic

    Serbian and Macedonian Cyrillic has different preferred shapes for some italic letters, which differ from the standard Cyrillic. Typotheque fonts use standard Cyrillic forms as default, and Serbian Cyrillic italic is applied when the text is tagged as Serbian Or Macedonian. When the Localised forms feature is not available, you can also apply the same forms by using a Stylistic Set.
