字体介绍
最初的Ionic形式是1821年由Vincent Figgins提出的,用于展示作品。在1863年出现了一个改进版本,粗细笔划之间对比度更为明显,而且衬线为直衬线。经过了进一步的开发,不过强健的埃及风格得以保留,从而使该字体适用于报纸的文本设置。Ionic字体家族因其很高的x高度及强壮的极细线和衬线而被广泛应用于报纸行业,成为许多二十世纪报纸字体的样板。<br><br>
The earliest form of Ionic was brought out by Vincent Figgins in 1821 and was intended for display work. In 1863 a more refined version appeared which had more contrast between thick and thin strokes and the serifs were bracketed. Further developments were made, however the robustness of the Egyptian style was retained making the face suitable for newspaper text setting. With a large x-height and strong hairlines and serifs, the Ionic font family became widely used by the newspaper industry as a body type and provided a model for many twentieth century newspaper typefaces.
