However, to me the superpower of Spitzkant lies in the display styles, the many alternate characters and ligatures, and the overall very contemporary, edgy feeling to this serif design. You’ll have to decide, in your particular use case, if it fits or distracts. Others are a bit over the top and controversial, like the elevated letters above the L, the extended arm of the E at the EA ligature, or the too closely cut of Y in the TY ligature. Some of them are really cool and helpful for striking titles or logotypes (like RA, or WA). Julien is a graphic designer and created a ton of special ligatures for Spitzkant. Spitzkant comes with plenty of ligatures, some gorgeous and helpful, others a bit too much. It kinda leaves me with a distorted taste, not sure why. So I would recommend setting it above 20 to 24 px, at least. Seeing it for body text on screen, it still feels too noisy for longer reading text. However, I feel I could have been a bit stronger, still. Sharp Type is a digital type foundry based in New York City. Spitzkant Text is a little sturdier, without losing its overall character. Spitzkant Head is very delicate and super contrasting, also the spacing is tighter. Spitzkant Head is very contrasting and spaced denser, while the Text style is a bit sturdier and wider. See the difference in stroke weight at the same size. This is represented in the different optical sizes, too. Julien writes, that he focused on creating a display typeface first, and then continued to design a text version as well. Due to its contrast and pointy serifs, it sets a confident, elegant, maybe also a little restrained mood. The higher concentrations of migrating birds at stopover sites make them prone to parasites and pathogens, which require a heightened immune response.Spitzkant is an interesting, sharp serif typeface by the lovely Julien Fincker (who long time subscribers might already know from Garino). A similar strategy is adopted by the greater noctule bat, which preys on nocturnal passerine migrants. Predation can be heightened during migration: Eleonora's falcon Falco eleonorae, which breeds on Mediterranean islands, has a very late breeding season, coordinated with the autumn passage of southbound passerine migrants, which it feeds to its young. These advantages offset the high stress, physical exertion costs, and other risks of the migration. As the days shorten in autumn, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply varies little with the season. Sans serifs from this time period and the following few decades are called grotesque and also sometimes Grotesk or Gothic. More specifically, grotesque refers to the set of sans serif fonts produced around 1815. From a broad view, grotesque is used as a synonym for sans serif fonts in general. This helps diurnal birds to produce larger clutches than related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics. Well, the definition of a grotesque is a bit nuanced. In addition, the longer days of the northern summer provide extended time for breeding birds to feed their young. The primary motivation for migration appears to be food for example, some hummingbirds choose not to migrate if fed through the winter. Of course, in the southern hemisphere the directions are reversed, but there is less land area in the far south to support long-distance migration. The most common pattern involves flying north in the spring to breed in the temperate or Arctic summer and returning in the autumn to wintering grounds in warmer regions to the south. Designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-hinted by leading hinting expert, Agfa Monotype's Tom Rickner, these sans serif fonts are unique examples of type design for the computer screen. Many bird populations migrate long distances along a flyway. The Verdana typeface family consists of four TrueType fonts created specifically to address the challenges of on-screen display. Approximately 1800 of the world's 10,000 bird species are long-distance migrants. Non-migratory birds are said to be resident or sedentary. Migration is marked by its annual seasonality. Super families are very extensive with a very. Sometimes, journeys are not termed 'true migration' because they are irregular (nomadism, invasions, irruptions) or in only one direction. A type style means any given variant of this coordinated design and is the equivalent of a font or typeface.
