字体介绍
ITC New Winchester是从未真正发布过的字体的复兴。最初的温彻斯特(Winchester)是由美国字体设计师W.A. Dwiggins于1944年创建的实验设计。Dwiggins希望通过减少上乘和下乘的数量来提高英语的可读性。为此,他给了温彻斯特很短的后代,并为许多字母创建了不正当的形式。结果是一种独特的文字字体,Dwiggins和Dorothy Abbe偶尔以手机形式使用。五十年后,印第安纳州字体设计师Jim Spiece将Dwiggins的实验变成了一个新的数字文本类型家族。斯伯特(Spiece)给新温彻斯特(New Winchester)带来了大胆的重量,以及小写的字体(包括罗马字体和斜体字体)和旧样式。他还创建了两种形式的小写字母f,一种带有和不带有悬垂的小写字母(在金属类型中为kern),以及一组完整的f-连字。<br><br>
ITC New Winchester is a revival of a typeface that never really had a first release. The original Winchester was an experimental design created by the American type designer W.A. Dwiggins in 1944. Dwiggins was interested in improving the legibility of the English language by reducing the number of ascenders and descenders; to do this, he gave Winchester very short descenders and created uncial forms for a number of letters. The result was a distinctive text typeface that was occasionally used by Dwiggins and Dorothy Abbe in handset form. Fifty years later, Indiana type designer Jim Spiece has turned Dwiggins’s experiment into a new family of digital text types. Spiece gave New Winchester a bold weight, as well as small caps (both roman and italic) and old style figures; he also created two forms of the lowercase f, one with and one without an overhang (in metal type, a kern), and a full set of f-ligatures.
