Hermecito™ is a text type of optimum legibility, weight, colour and letterfit. Throughout the design process traditional principles of design of text letters were closely observed. When designs for the 9- to 12-pt roman and italic forms with Cyrillic and Greek letters were completed, designs of a ‘Nonpareil’ for smaller texts (5 to 8 pt) were made and display forms – ‘Tertia’ for 14-pt and larger, titling capitals and an ultrabold – were added. The high-resolution specimens (pdf for US Letter and A4) contain sample texts. Some notable features of the 46-font series are:
• Baltic and Eastern European glyphs; accents fitted closely to capitals to facilitate closely line-spaced settings
• Open counters, sharpness of line, close-fitting punctuation
• Slightly shortened capitals for a more comfortable setting of German
• Ligatures and logotypes for fb ff ffi ffl fh fi fj fk fl ft ij tz ch ck
• Long-s and ligatures
• Piece- and composite-fractions font
• Roman and italic superiors and inferiors fonts containing maths symbols and Greek lowercase
• IPA Phonetics font
• Long descenders alternative fonts
• Tabular figures alternative fonts (all numerals of equal width)
• Small capitals for Cyrillic and Greek
