Jabana — a font for coffee and more. Inspired by having a “Schorle” at Hamburgs bars. (52 Fonts Bundle)
Super compressed to extended letter shapes, smooth handwritten marker curves and especially a wide range of opentype features define the large character set of Jabana, Jabana Alt and Jabana Extras.
Jabana comes in 5 widths and 4 weights. Plus the normal looking Jabana Alt both together count 40 fonts, each 1530 glyphs … If Jabana is too unique for your purpose just use Jabana Alt. This alternate fonts got standard uppercase proportions and a larger x-height for the lowercase.
Each letter and punctuation got three simple varieties of alternates. This gives a nice looking handwritten nature to the font. They will be randomly chosen by the contextual alternates feature or even by hand via stylistic set (ss01, ss02).
The whole characters for serious western european typography comes along Jabana. Beside the standard accented letters, fractions, mathematical glyphs, superiors and inferiors you will find alternates, extra bullets, different arrows, negative figures and roman numerals.
Another reason for the amount of 1530 glyphs are the numerator and denominator letters which came from A-Z, punctuation and the extra bullets (ss09-16). They are meant to be used for decoration or distinction. Especially an opentype stylistic set gives an extra touch to it while putting a dot/line above denominators or underneath numerators (ss03+numr/dnom).
Extras! … If you need some awesome specials, Jabana Extras can help you to realize a fast and good looking design. Beside Arrows, Banners, Lines, Ornaments and Web or Coffee Icons you will find much more … Don’t forget to activate the ligature feature and start typing. A-Z or a-z, try it, learn it, love it!
