Tillana是一个令人耳目一新的非正式字体家族,用于德文和拉丁语。这些字体最初是由印度字体铸造厂在2014年作为一个开源项目发布的。每重1021个字符,Tillana拥有设置各种欧洲语言以及印度语言(如印地语,马拉地语,尼泊尔语等)所需的所有字符。蒂拉娜家族包括五种风格,从常规到特别大胆的重量范围。蒂拉娜的拉丁文不连贯;family的这一部分是一个非连接脚本类型。Devanagari部分是目前可用于该脚本的少数“真正的草书”设计之一。
两种书写系统的字符看起来好像是流畅的手写,尤其是梵文。蒂拉娜的字体呈10度角倾斜。笔画呈现出明显的对比,动态的计数器形式是设计最突出的特点之一。这种形式包括许多环和钩,大多数结是环而不是封闭的黑色形式。两种文字中所有的竖笔画的顶部和底部都有凸起,梵文汉字的中央竖笔画几乎总是突破标题。手写人工制品也出现在拉丁字母中,例如小写q的降格上的hook。
Tillana的Devanagari基础字符高度垂直地落在拉丁大写字母和小写字母高度之间。拉丁字符有一个小的x高和长上升和下降。Lipi Raval设计了Tillana的Devanagari组件,并与Jonny Pinhorn一起设计了拉丁语。
Tillana is a refreshingly informal family of typefaces for Devanagari and Latin. The fonts were first published by the Indian Type Foundry as an open source project in 2014. Coming in at 1021 glyphs per weight, Tillana has all of the characters necessary to set a variety of European languages, as well as Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and more. The Tillana family includes five styles, which range in weight from Regular through Extra Bold. Tillana’s Latin do not connect; this part of the family is a non-joining script type. The Devanagari part is one of the few “true cursive” designs currently available for the script.
Characters from both writing systems appear as if they were fluidly handwritten, particularly the Devanagari. Tillana’s letterforms are slanted at a 10 degree angle. The strokes are show visible contrast, and the dynamic counter forms are one of the design’s most prominent features. The forms involve many loops and hooks and most of the knots are loops rather than closed, black forms. All vertical strokes in both scripts have swelling at their tops and bottoms, and the Devanagari characters’ central vertical strokes almost always break through the headline. Handwriting artefacts are present in the Latin letters, too, such as hook on the descender of the lowercase q.
Tillana’s Devanagari base character height falls vertically between the Latin upper and lowercase letter heights. The Latin characters have a small x-height and long ascenders and descenders. Lipi Raval designed the Devanagari components of Tillana, and worked together with Jonny Pinhorn on the Latin.
