Bitter介紹

人們每天閱讀屏幕上的文字並與之互動的次數越來越多。屏幕上發生的事情最終比打印機輸出的內容更重要。隨著電子書的日益普及,字體設計師們正在努力尋找理想的屏幕閱讀設計。

出於對像素的熱愛,我設計了Bitter。這是一種“現代”的板式襯線字體,專為在任何電腦或設備上輕鬆閱讀而設計。穩健的設計始於像素網格的緊縮,基於理性而非情感原則。它將人文傳統的巨大x高度和易讀性與人物的微妙特徵相結合,為流動的文本注入了一定的節奏。

Bitter的筆劃重量變化很小,Regular比普通的“Regular”樣式更厚。這會在段落中產生強烈的色彩,襯線與帶有方形終端的筆劃一樣厚。

每個字形都經過精心設計,在設計的第一階段添加了出色的曲線質量,完全在像素網格中製作。字體是平衡的,手動間隔,使用很少的緊排對,這對網絡字體的使用尤其重要,因為大多數瀏覽器目前都不支持這一功能。

People read and interact with text on screens more and more each day. What happens on screen ends up being more important than what comes out of the printer. With the accelerating popularity of electronic books, type designers are working hard to seek out the ideal designs for reading on screen.

Motivated by my love for the pixel I designed Bitter. A "contemporary" slab serif typeface for text, it is specially designed for comfortably reading on any computer or device. The robust design started from the austerity of the pixel grid, based on rational rather than emotional principles. It combines the large x-heights and legibility of the humanistic tradition with subtle characteristics in the characters that inject a certain rhythm to flowing texts.

Bitter has little variation in stroke weight and the Regular is thicker than a normal ‘Regular’ style for print design. This generates an intense color in paragraphs, accentuated by the serifs that are as thick as strokes with square terminals.

Each glyph is carefully designed with an excellent curve quality added to the first stage of the design, that was entirely made in a pixel grid. The typeface is balanced and manually spaced to use very few kerning pairs, especially important for web font use since most browsers do not currently support this feature.
