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.

Manu In Use

Design concept

Manu is a sophisticated, modern handwriting font based on the fluid, casual writing of its author. It comes with the OpenType features that the most demanding users are accustomed to finding in serious text typefaces. Manu comes in three styles, Formal, Informal and Emphasis. Manu Formal is based on slow, careful writing that humanises printed type. Manu Informal is fast, cursive, uninterrupted writing with the rhythm of handwriting. Emphasis is a semi-fast, all-caps typeface written with a heavier felt-tipped pen. All three styles can be combined and recombined, giving plenty of space for expression, personality and typographic hierarchy.

Symbols

Manu comes with a handy set of symbols, icons and emoticons, plus advanced typographic OpenType features. They are written with the same pen, and in the same style as the text fonts. Separately, there is also a set of sound effects written with a heavier felt-tipped pen covering all kinds of onomatopoetic sounds, useful for anything from the sound of a desperate comic-book fight to the sound of a soft drink can being opened.
