Apolline Std

Apolline received a Morisawa Award in 1993 (Japan). The objective was mainly to obtain a horizontal emphasis. The asymmetry of serifs reinforce the writing rhythm. The original drawings are very small. They began on tracing paper & were then digitized at larger sizes. ’Roughness’ makes the face more lively. This typeface quite economical because of its large xheight (compared to Adobe Garamond for example), provide a strong color to the printed page. Small caps, old style figures, lining figures were included then.

Some original drawings here.

September 2009 beta test

All glyphs work here, but some doesn’t despite they are on the fonts. The PTF Essayage (Try it) have some limitations on the rendering due to the graphic ressource it is based on, FreeType engine, different to the rendering used by your own computer. The kerning is supported and with few built in texts (reload the page…) who show ligatures and alternates when presents.
