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.

Valter is a graceful and slightly cheeky collection of sans serif display fonts inspired by pointed-pen writing. Constructed on a monolinear skeleton, it offers seven weights that incrementally increase the contrast between the horizontal and vertical strokes. The thin styles appear wider, while the heavier weights feel normally proportioned, as only the interiors of the letters gain weight. Valter also includes narrower, cursive italics, as well as small caps and advanced OpenType layout features, creating a refined type family of 16 styles.

Valter, Design Concept

Design Concept

Each weight of Valter includes nine different kinds of numerals. Default numerals are proportional old-style (ranging) numerals, for use in running text. Valter also includes lining figures for use with capitals letters, because their proportions match the height of the capitals. Use small caps figures in all small caps setting, tabular (both lining and old-style figures), superior and inferior figures, and finally circled and circled inverted figures. When you take a licence for this font, you can choose your own default numeral variant.

Con il sostantivo mondo si usa designare la totalità della dimensione in cui vivono gli esseri umani, comprendente tutti i suoi abitanti animati e inanimati, inteso anche come il loro luogo primigenio in senso cosmologico e filosofico, distinto dagli altri pianeti ed oggetti materiali o metafisici che costellano l’Universo. Si distingue dal concetto di Terra che ricopre invece il significato di mera entità fisica. In un contesto metafisico, esso può anche fare riferimento a ogni ambito, insieme o sfera globale in sé compiuta, esistente nella realtà o nell’universo. La definizione di mondo nella lingua italiana proviene dall’espressione latina locus mundus nella sua accezione di «luogo pulito, chiaro, visibile» (cioè «mondato»), ovvero quella porzione della Terra, ma anche del cielo, illuminata dalla luce e quindi visibile, identificabile e riconoscibile dall’essere umano. Ma in tale definizione è implicito in aggiunta anche il valore di «ornamento» e di «elegante» inteso come il luogo ordinato dove regna la bellezza, insito anche nel greco kósmos con significato di «ordine, ornamento, bellezza», contrapposto al chàos e che rimanda al pensiero pitagorico ellenistico.

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

Small caps

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.

All small capitals

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.

Case-sensitive forms

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.

Circled numerals and arrows

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.

Standard ligatures

Typotheque fonts contain various styles of numerals within one font. Old-style Figures, also known as ranging figures, come standard in our text fonts. They are specifically designed to work well in running text, as they have the same proportions as lower case letters with their ascenders and descenders. The proportional Lining Figures feature changes standard figures to Lining figures which work better with all-capital text.

Proportional 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.

Tabular lining figures

Tabular old-style figures

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.

Slashed zero

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

Arbitrary fractions

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.

Superiors

Replaces all styles of figures (old style, tabular, lining) and letters with their inferior alternates, used primarily for mathematical or chemical notation. 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

Inferiors

En su sentido más general, la palabra ‘mundo’ se refiere a la totalidad de entidades, al conjunto de la realidad o a todo lo que fue, es y será. La naturaleza del mundo se ha conceptualizado de diferentes maneras en distintos ámbitos. Algunas concepciones ven el mundo como algo único, mientras que otras hablan de una ’pluralidad de mundos’. Algunos tratan el mundo como un objeto simple mientras que otros analizan el mundo como un complejo compuesto por muchas partes.

Le Monde est l’espace habité et connu par les différentes sociétés. Le mot renvoie à l’appropriation collective d’un espace dédié par une société, sa représentation renvoie à l’évolution des techniques de mesure. Le monde est le plus grand des espaces dans l’échelle des territoires connus. L’histoire du monde s’est construite progressivement et est le fait de découvertes.

Die Einschätzung, was zu diesem Begriff im Einzelnen genau gehört, ist abhängig von subjektiven und kulturellen Vorstellungen. Deshalb bestehen je nach individuellem Wissensumfang und besonders dem jeweiligen Kulturarealunterschiedliche Ansichten darüber, was unter Welt genau zu verstehen sei. Im Laufe der Zeit haben sich sehr viele verschiedene Verwendungen des Begriffs herausgebildet.
