█ (RELEASE NOTES) ██ █
█ ▓▓ ██ █
█ ██ Upon completion of the transcription of Jean Jannon's type ██ █
█ ██ face in 1996 we focused on the proportions and morphology of ██ █
█ ██ early Baroque type faces. The constructional principle of ██ █
█ ██ Serapion Pro is, of course, still Renaissance, but its ██ █
█ ██ expression and details are drawn from the typography of the ██ █
█ ██ 17th and 18th centuries. The modern conception of the design ██ █
█ ██ of the letters comes to the fore in the use of the principle ██ █
█ ██ taken from the lower-case "c": one ending of its curve is ██ █
█ ██ rounded, the other sharp. This element, which looks as if it ██ █
█ ██ were inspired by the Chinese brush, is then repeated in all ██ █
█ ██ lower-case letters with rounded strokes. In the italics, there ██ █
█ ██ is, in addition, the heritage of humanistic calligraphy. In ██ █
█ ██ the larger sizes, Serapion Pro produces the impression of a ██ █
█ ██ kind of thorny elegance with an unmistakable face; in the ██ █
█ ██ smaller sizes, however, the type face begins to behave ██ █
█ ██ inconspicuously, as a text one, and the reader perceives its ██ █
█ ██ spicy character as if unawares. Five years have already ██ █
█ ██ elapsed from the publishing of the first version. In the ██ █
█ ██ meantime the demands put on the quality of type faces have ██ █
█ ██ increased, which made it necessary to revise and enrich this ██ █
█ ██ popular type face family. We started by cleaning some of the ██ █
█ ██ characters from certain superfluous decorative ballast, in ██ █
█ ██ order that the decorative features, left more or less in ██ █
█ ██ italics only, might stand out the more. These decorative ██ █
█ ██ features were in particular: the bent horizontal in the ██ █
█ ██ upper-case letters "A" and "H", the loop in "W" and the ██ █
█ ██ exaggerated lower serif in the lower-case "b". A fairly ██ █
█ ██ invisible change is the equalizing of the x-height in the ██ █
█ ██ letters "b", "d", "p", "q", which was previously smaller than ██ █
█ ██ in other letters û this, at that time, was in the interests of ██ █
█ ██ expressiveness, yet it rendered wider use of the type face ██ █
█ ██ impossible. The missing ligatures, but above all the genuine ██ █
█ ██ small capitals with the corresponding figures, mathematical ██ █
█ ██ and other non-alphabetical signs were added. The newly ██ █
█ ██ arising OpenType family of four designs thus meets all demands ██ █
█ ██ for shorter fiction, poetry and ceremonial prints. ██ █
