字体介绍
Bell最初是在1788年由Richard Austin为John Bell切割的一款仿型字体,以Stephenson Blake&Co拥有的矩阵为基础。它被用于Bell的报纸《The Oracle》中,还被Stanley Morison视为是第一款英文现代字体。尽管受到当时法国字冲雕刻的启发,而且还具有垂直应力和极细线,但Bell的强度不及法国模式,因此现被归类为过渡时期字体。Bell字体家族本质上是文本字体,可用于书籍、杂志、长篇文章等。<br><br>
Bell is a facsimile of the typeface cut originally for John Bell by Richard Austin in 1788, using as a basis the matrices in the possession of Stephenson Blake & Co. Used in Bell’s newspaper, The Oracle, it was regarded by Stanley Morison as the first English Modern face. Although inspired by French punchcutters of the time, with a vertical stress and fine hairlines, Bell is less severe than the French models and is now classified as Transitional. Essentially a text face, the Bell font family can be used for books, magazines, long articles, etc.
