Hypatia Sans italics? Now

James Puckett — Thu, 8 May 2008 09:39:52 -0700

Hypatia Sans italics? Now that would be a hot titling face.

And Zeno’s arrow is the best excuse EVER. I’m saving that one.

’struth. They are increasingly close to done, and I am working on them some this week, but they suffer from two problems:

1) I’m working on too many other things.

2) Zeno’s Arrow

Why no italics?

Hi Thomas,
here’s one example. And: Hypatia really is a blast. Congratulations!

Nick, that’s a cool thread, but doesn’t show the vertical umlaut for the U. But I’m the first to say that I don’t think I came up with the idea independently.

Cheers,

I registered here at typophile just to say I’m very excited for Hypatia to be available independent of CS3.

I have this vague memory of either Paul H, Dan R or Adam T pointing out (or at least discussing with others) “creative” umlauts on caps, including the internal vertical configuration. Even more vaguely I remember examples by either Kapr or Reiner with such accents. In any case you can be pretty sure that some German(s) had the idea decades ago.

Paul: Currently, we intend to wait until the Hypatia Sans italics are done before making the typeface available as a regular retail item. Don’t hold your breath, as I haven’t started in on the italics seriously yet. Too much other pre-CS4 planning going on right now, and the echoes of CS3 still going on.

Mark: I’ll confess to a secret liking for Serif Gothic, ever since I first noticed it as the titling typeface for the boardgame “Empires of the Middle Ages” back in high school.

Miguel: I am about 3/4 sure the idea for the vertical dots on the black Udieresis.alt was somebody else’s suggestion. Darned if I can remember whose, though. Robert, or maybe one of our beta testers or somebody I showed the typeface to? I gather from your comment it wasn’t your idea. :)

Carl, Miguel: Okay, I’ll stop saying “it doesn’t suck.” Jim Felici was bugging me about that one, too. Be warned that you might see that phrase crop up in an interview I already did months ago for CreativePro.com, though.

Wait a minute, if “it doesn’t suck” “isn’t at all appropriate for [my] accomplishment,” are you saying it *does* suck? Darn, that’s disappointing.... :)

A classy alternative to bundling, changing perceptions of value.
Take note, Microsoft and Apple.

can Hypatia be purchased

paul d hunt — Thu, 3 May 2007 12:00:44 -0700

can Hypatia be purchased separately from CS3? I’m browsing the Adobe site, and can’t seem to find any links to actually purchase the typeface.

Man, I’m late to the party! Congratulations Thomas, looks great!

Yes, you can do that. Now do

Miss Tiffany — Wed, 2 May 2007 22:35:08 -0700

Yes, you can do that. Now do the math and you’ll see how many potential combinations you can have. That is the genius, as I see it, in using stylistic sets. You can really allow the typographer to fine tune the type.
