↗Introduction
SECTION 01
Welcome to the specimen of my latest typeface, Kurstiva, a ten weight sans serif design. This type family is focused on conveying a strong identity and originality while remaining very adaptable to any context or media. With a pronounced focus on legibilty, Kurstiva is both suited for large and smaller sizes of text, whether on screens or print.
For this project, I took the unusual step of starting with the darkest weight following an initial sketch I had made while working on a branding project. It was unusual for me since I normally would design a regular weight, and then later decide on adding further weights, light or dark. This first idea led me to start sketching out a few of the base letterforms with a wide, dark stroke and form. Feeling quite happy with the first digitalisations, I started to pursue the idea of developing these first sketches into a complete typeface family. I felt the few original quirks, from the curved terminals, angled stems and the condensed form, presented an interesting potential for a contemporary, legible, sans serif typeface that could be used in a wide array of settings.

Having completed the inital Black weight led to a few interesting discoveries for the development of the other styles. Firstly, this dark weight would allow me to solve some density issues that can arise as you add weight to a light stroke, especially on the more complicated stroke sucessions of letters like the lowercase a or e. Secondly, by working with a heavy stroke, I was able to focus on the finer details of each letterform that define it's character, how the strokes and stems would combine or if the terminals would be symmetric.
The main overall feature of this character is it's narrow form and the squared curves on the rounded letterforms. There is a strong cursive influence in the typeface, with the curved stems and prolonged stroke terminals, reminiscent of the extended forms found in hand written letters This reflects the original intent of the typeface, to create a sans serif, humanist, soft design that would be full of personality yet remaining highly legible. To add further vitality, the stems are cut at a 20° angle, following the overall rythm defined by the principal lowercase forms. The historical double storey a and g, were a conscious choice to further assist letter recognition, but were also influenced by my original sketch that featured a cut, squared e letter. That still strikes me as a defining feature of the overall typeface.

With a total of ten weights, ranging from a very light Thin weight to a dark Black style, Kurstiva offers an array of stroke weights with which to compose interesting layouts.
The ultra thin weight is obviously difficult to set in smaller sizes due to it's hairline stroke weight but will convey a refined and delicate character when used in larger sizes. At the other end of the scale, the Black weight offers an attention grabbing, bold form that can suit headlines or any text that needs impact. Between them, are three progressive weights that are ideal for text in smaller sizes since they have the most balance between weight and white space..
Kurstiva equally includes five italic weights for each roman form, that, true to it's cursive inspiration, I decided to create as more rounded, manuscript shape. This is especially visible in the lowercase a or g, but equally in the stroke junctions which are lower than the roman form and with a more marked curvature. This deliberate graphical difference combined to the pronounced slant, creates enough visual distinction between both styles to allow a true contrast while staying coherant in their character.

There is a more direct appeal to the imagination in line drawing than in possibly anything else in pictorial art. The emotional stimulus given by fine design is due largely to line work. The power a line possesses of instinctively directing the eye along its course is of the utmost value also, enabling the artist to concentrate the attention of the beholder where he wishes. Then there is a harmonic sense in lines and their relationships, a music of line that is found at the basis of all good art. But this subject will be treated later on when talking of line rhythm. Most artists
On this basis of line drawing the development of art proceeded. The early Egyptian wall paintings were outlines tinted, and the earliest wall sculpture was an incised outline. After these incised lines some man of genius thought of cutting away the surface of the wall between the outlines and modelling it in low relief. The appearance of this may have suggested to the man painting his outline on the wall the idea of shading between his

This is a remarkable fact considering the somewhat remote relation lines have to the complete phenomena of vision. Outlines can only be said to exist in appearances as the boundaries of masses. All through the work of the men who used this light and shade (or chiaroscuro, as it was called) the outline basis remained. Leonardo, Raphael, Michael Angelo, Titian, and the Venetians were all faithful to it as the means of holding their pictures together; although the Venetians, by fusing the edges of their outline masses, got very near the visual method to be introduced later by Velazquez. In this way, little by little, starting from a basis of simple outline forms, art grew up, each new detail of visual appearance discovered adding, as it were, another instrument to the orchestra at the disposal of the artist, enabling him to add to the somewhat crude directness and simplicity of the early work the graces and refinements of the more complex work, making the problem of composition more difficult but increasing the range of its expression. But these additions to the visual formula used by artists was not all gain; the simplicity of the means at the disposal of a Botticelli gives an innocence and imaginative appeal to his work that it is difficult to think of preserving with the more complete visual realisation of later schools. When the realisation of actual appearance is most complete, the mind is liable to be led away by side issues connected with the things represented, instead of seeing the emotional intentions of the artist expressed through them. The mind is apt to leave the picture and looking, as it were, not at it but

Now the facts of life are conveyed by our senses to the consciousness within us, and stimulate the world of thought and feeling that constitutes our real life. Thought and feeling are very intimately connected, few of our mental perceptions, particularly when they first dawn upon us, being unaccompanied by some feeling. But there is this general division to be made, on one extreme of which is what we call pure

FeaturesAs with most of my fonts, Kurstiva includes a range of Opentype features to offer every user a selection of potential glyph choices while setting content. This starts with the extended character set that has been built to include all the neccessary accents of the Latin based ISO languages including Polish, Icelandic or Tukish. The second step was to include a basic set of standard ligatures, however due to the narrow letterforms, their application is not an obligation but rather a stylist choice.The same can be said for the Alternative character of the ampersand, two versions are provided so you can choose which style you prefer for your layout.
During the course of the development of the typeface, I had started to explore the world of Unicode tables. These standardized charts, map every internationally recognized glyph into a digital value to help with their mapping in various softwares. To my great surprise and enjoyment, I started to discover a whole range of glyphs that I had never explored or applied to my typefaces. One huge area was monetary symbols. As a typical western user, I had mostly focused on the standard Latin forms, dollar, yen, pound, cent and the euro symbol. But with my desire to make this family applicable in an array of situations, it only seemed logical to also include a wider choice of currency symbols. But rather than add all the signs, I principally focused on the currencies of countries that would be covered by my letterforms.
The Unicode exploration also led me to finally discover the correct encodings for arrows and dingbats, so I obviously had to include a few! Kurstiva features a complete set of arrows that can be used as symbols or navigation tools. These arrows are adapted to each weight, so there is a total of 5 different sets.

NumbersFor the numbers of Kurstiva, Opentype once again offers a great solution to allow more than one choice. The default numerals are capital lining, these numbers are the most familiar to users and will work best when set with uppercase letters.
The next option is to use the old style or hanging numerals, these historical forms mimic the rhythm of lowercase letters by aligning on the x height and having ascenders and descenders like the minuscule forms.
A last option is to use the Tabular numbers, these, like the default numerals, are aligned to the capitals yet share a common letter width. This common width is to allow the composition of tables and grids were each number will occupy the same width, ensuring consistent line length.
A final set of numerals are the superscript and inferior numbers, these numbers have been scaled and adjusted to match the weight of the standard numbers or letters, this is opposed to the digitally scaled forms that are generated automatically that simply scale the default numbers. These numerals are equally used in the fraction feature, a neat little Opentype addition to allows you to set any type of fraction automatically in your layout without having to perform time consuming typographic adaptations.

Most of the earliest forms of drawing known to us in history, like those of the child we were discussing in the last chapter, are largely in the nature of outline drawings.

Its relationship with visual appearances is not sufficient to justify the instinct for line drawing. It comes, I think, as has already been said, from the sense of touch. When an object is felt there is no merging in the surrounding mass, but a firm definition of its boundary, which the mind instinctively conceives as a line. There is a more direct appeal to the imagi-nation in line drawing than in possibly anything else in pictorial art. The emotional stimulus given by fine design is due largely to line work. The power a line possesses of instinctively directing the eye along its course is of the utmost value also, enabling the artist to concentrate the atten-tion of the beholder 51where he wishes. Then there is a harmonic sense in lines and their relationships, a music of line that is found at the basis of all good art. But this subject will be treated later on when talking of line rhythm.
Most artists whose work makes a large appeal to the imagination are strong on the value of line. Blake, whose visual knowledge was such a negligible quantity, but whose mental perceptions were so magnificent, was always insisting on its value. And his designs are splendid examples of its powerful appeal to the imagination.
