October Compressed, Design Concept

Design Concept

October is part of Typotheque’s <a href="https://www.typotheque.com/fonts/global">Global Font collection</a> supporting hundreds of languages and various writing scripts. In the long term, it is intended that October will support all living languages with a community of active speakers. Currently, October supports the following writing scripts: Arabic, Armenian, Bangla, Canadian Syllabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), Kannada, Latin, Malayalam, Odia, Ol Chiki, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. We are working on extending the language to other writing scripts, including Chinese. This makes October an unprecedented design project.

October, Global font

A Truly Global Font

October is available in three logical widths, which offer a complete typographic palette for the most demanding designers. The condensed and compressed versions solve the problem of setting long words and sentences next to short words set in the regular width version of October. A variable font version allows you to choose any width in between.

October also supports the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), featuring a comprehensive repertoire of glyphs for the transcription of linguistic data. The font also covers First Nations roman orthographies of Indigenous languages spoken in Canada (Wakashan, Algonquian, Salishan, Tsimshianic, Iroquoian, and Eskaleut languages) and, additionally, it covers African Indigenous roman orthographies for languages such as Hausa, Igbo, Akan, Kabiye, Ewe, etc. The IPA support is embedded inside the Latin fonts and every other language version, so you don’t need a separate licence for it.

October is ideally suited to information signage and wayfinding projects, and includes a collection of transportation and travel-related signs, symbols, icons, and various sets of arrows. We are continuing to work on expanding this collection of icons for other uses.

Each weight of October Compressed includes nine different kinds of numerals. Proportional lining figures come as default figures in October Compressed. It also, however, includes old-style figures, tabular numerals (both lining and old-style), small caps numerals, superior, inferior, circled and circled inverted numerals. For running text, old-style figures work best; for use in capital setting, use lining figures, and with the 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 your own default numeral variant.
