▓ ░ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ The Costa ptf typeface family began life in 1999 as a ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ corporate typeface for Costa Crociere, an Italian cruise ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ company who still use it for many of their communication ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ needs. The objective was to develop a typeface that allowed ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ all of the material to be easily recognisable despite ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ various stylesheets and layouts. The style of typeface came ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ from the ligatured logotype Costa designed by Landor ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Associates in 1999. The immediate answer was to design ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ disconnected letters and to add some unusual glyphs such as ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ k, v or E in order to give a unique colour to the text. The ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ idea was to create a sort of mediterranean style of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ typeface. Using the structure of a somewhat modernised ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Italian Chancery script to which only the ending serif ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ remained. The serif being more of a flourish creating ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ contrast and referencing the more exotic countries such as ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ those which Costa Crociere present in their catalogs. Costa ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ptf is a style without neutrality and doesnÆt fit ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ comfortably into any typeface classification û this proves ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ to be the novelty of its design as well as guaranteeing its ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ originality. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Costa ptf was designed to be appropriate for any use where ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ you might desire to give an informal look in titling sizes ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ but still need good legibility in small text sizes. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ In 2004, it was time to upgrade the family, originally ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ developed in Postcript Type 1 and TrueType format, into a ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ contemporary OpenType family. First we added ExtraBold and ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Demi weights and then a large character set with close to ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ full Latin script support. Among various glyphs designed ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ (781 glyphs per weight) we have: Small Caps, 4 styles of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ figures, many ligatures, ornaments, alternates, superiors & ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ fractions. All glyphs provided in each weight allowing for ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ consistant change from one weight to another. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ The Ch ligature ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Originally not planned, it appeared because of a trip to ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Barcelona in June 2004 where I had given a lecture on my ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ work. I wanted to pay an homage to that invitation doing ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ something special. So, during my flight, I designed some ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ variations of the Spanish Ch following ideas developed by ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ the Argentinian type designer RubΘn Fontana for his ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ typeface called Fontana ND (published by the Barcelona ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ foundry Bauer). Then, during my lecture, I presented my ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ variations and asked to the audience which design fit the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ best their language, they selected the design you find in ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ the fonts today. ███ ░ ▓
