Typeface Detail

Over time, many of the functors of page layout have become formalized within the concept of typeface as morphic categories, categories being the semantic building blocks of perception at the level of both individual physiology and social production. First case, then skew, weight, horizontal scale and serifization have evolved as the axes about which type families may be configured. To these Nick Shinn has added a cultural axis, with modern (minimalist) and old style (humanist) as the poles of the sans serif genre.Shinntype?s Sense and Sensibility comprise a super-family of two semi-condensed styles of roman with italic, sharing stem widths, vertical metrics, and similar horizontal scale. There are eight weights, with alternate figures and identical tab figure width across all 32 fonts.
