Le Monde Livre PTF
Before the arrival of photocomposition, each font size had a specific design. Le Monde Livre PTF, designed by Jean François Porchez, along with Le Monde Journal PTF, re-establishes this practice. In effect, the latter was developed specifically for use at small point sizes (below 10 points.) Le Monde Livre is better suited for everyday work (above 10 points,) from books to posters. Additionally, in comparison to the italics in Le Monde Journal, Le Monde Livre’s italics are of a totally new design, closer to the models of the Renaissance. The Le Monde Livre series is offered in three weights, in roman, italic. If you’re looking for something more typographically appealing based on the same initial style, you should take a look at the Classic version who include various ligatures (not yet OpenType).
Presented to the public in 1997, the 2008 OpenType version is the next step in the history of the Le Monde Livre. The glyph set has surpassed the usual 250 to a size of more than 700, which allows for the composition of numerous Latin-script European languages. Along with small caps available in the three weights, 4 sets of figures are provided–lining and oldstyle–in tabular and proportional widths, depending on the version. Minuscule lowercase, figures for automated fractions, are also included, and in addition a set of dingbats for everyday use in newspaper and magazine layout. The full family is composed of more than 4600 glyphs and feature around 300 000 pairs.
Welcome to this “new Le Monde Livre” and enjoy.
