Arbitrary Fractions

Typotheque OpenType fonts already include a number of pre-designed diagonal fractions. The fraction feature allows you to create other fractions quickly and easily.

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.

Slashed zero

To avoid confusion between a zero and a capital O, a slashed zero glyph is available in most Typotheque fonts. It is activated by an OpenType feature.

Small Caps

Most Typotheque fonts implement the Small Caps feature. In Adobe applications and in QuarkXPress you can replace lower case letters with small caps using the keyboard shortcut (⌘ + ⇧ + H), or the OpenType menu.

Subscript / inferiors

Replaces all figures and capital letters with their inferior alternates. Inferior 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.

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.

Tabular Figures

Tabular figures (TF) 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 also include Old-style Tabular figures.

Proportional Old-style Figures

Typotheque fonts contain various styles of numerals within one font. Proportional Lining Figures (LF) 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 (OsF) 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.

Latin punctuation variants (SS11)

Syllabics fonts use shorter versions of numerals and punctuation that visually match better with the Syllabic text. This Stylistic Set replaces them by the numerals and punctuation for the Latin script.

Syllabics punctuation variants (SS12)

For situations when language tagging is not available, apply Stylistic Set 12 to use shorter versions of numerals and punctuation that visually match better with the Syllabic text.

Square Form Alternates (ss13)

This Stylistic Set replaces the default round form of Syllabics with the Square form preferred by the Dene Syllabics communities.

Nunavik ng Local Form (ss14)

This Stylistic Set replaces the default forms of the ng final character used in Nunavut by the alternative form preferred Nunavik communities.

Carrier Preferred Midline Finals (ss15)

This Stylistic Set replaces the default final characters positioned at the top line, which is preferred by the Inuktut and Cree and Ojibway communities, by the vertically centered variants preferred by the Carrier community.
