Skie is a simple gothic sans serif typeface with normal, condensed, and wide families. Its distinguishing characteristics are the small x-height with tall ascenders, and a minimal amount of contrast, while the apertures are semi-open to help in readability. The simple design keeps the appearance fairly neutral and presents a blend of modern and vintage qualities.
With 60 fonts in 10 weights and 3 widths making up the complete family, it could be considered a superfamily or workhorse as the widths — normal, condensed, and wide — all harmonize together to give the designer a variety of proportions and layout options to work with. Each width carries a little different tone and feel.
Skie includes many features:

With almost 600 glyphs, this font has extensive Latin language support (100+ Latin languages) for Western, Central, and South Eastern European.
Skie will work great right away with most any software (Adobe, MS Word, Pages, etc.), but to take advantage of the additional OpenType features, OpenType-savvy software (like the Adobe applications) is recommended. These additional OpenType features are not PUA-encoded to help preserve functions like spell-checking, searching, and proper glyph matching if switching fonts.
