Mosquito™
字体介绍:
Mosquito由简单、直观的形状组成,但其独特的笔画末端和略微倾斜的应力使设计与更传统的无衬线字体区别开来。相对较大的x高度和开放的字怀增加了设计的易读性。大写字母很简单(只有一点Peignot的影子),而小写字母则更柔和、更吸引人。“我画Mosquito是希望它看起来吸引人且阅读起来很愉悦,”de Berranger说:“我最终希望它是娇柔的。” Mosquito有三种字重,包括补充的斜体设计和一套小型大写字母、老式数字以及替代字符。”
Éric de Berranger likes to multitask, and often works on two typeface families at once. Such was the case with Mosquito, a jaunty sans that was developed at the same time he was creating the more traditional Maxime. Mosquito represented a sort of recreation," says de Berranger. "When I grew tired of working on one design I could work on the other and then come back to the first, full of courage and desire!"
Mosquito is built from simple, straightforward shapes, but its distinctive stroke terminals and slight oblique weight stress distinguish the design from more conventional sans serif faces. The relatively large x-height and open counters add to the legibility of the design. The capitals are straightforward (with just a hint of Peignot), while the lowercase has a softer, more inviting demeanor. "I drew Mosquito with the hope that it would be pleasant to look at and to read," says de Berranger. "I think the end result is almost feminine."
Mosquito comes in three weights, with complementary italic designs and a suite of small caps, old style figures and alternate characters."
