字体介绍
Versailles™是Adrian Frutiger于1984年为Linotype设计的。他是受1861年建造的巴黎歌剧院的设计师Charles Garnier纪念碑上的金属刻字的影响。这种字体被称为法文拉丁,特点是三角形衬线非常尖锐。Versailles字体让人想起那个时代和地方:它有一个对称且几乎垂直的轴;x字高很高,且衬线尖锐。这种锐度与新巴洛克风格的元素形成了鲜明对比,比如a、f、g、j和y上扁平但弯曲的悬垂。Versailles非常适合用于较短文本和标题。当使用大尺寸或较粗字重时,它可用于歌剧海报、网站以及广告横幅。 <br>
Adrian Frutiger designed Versailles™ for Linotype in 1984. He was influenced by lettering cut in metal on a memorial for Charles Garnier, the designer of the Paris Opera building in 1861. This style of lettering, called French Latine, is characterized by very sharp triangular serifs. The Versailles typeface evokes that time and place: it has a symmetrical, almost vertical axis; a tall x-height, and serifs so sharp they could draw blood. This sharpness contrasts nicely with neo-baroque elements such as the flat-but-curvy overhangs on the a, f, g, j and y. Versailles is perfect for shorter texts and titles or headlines. When used in large sizes or in the bolder weights, it has an astonishing impact. Let it perform on opera posters, websites and advertising banners.
