Adobe Originals Typefaces Created exclusively for Adobe by award-winning type designers worldwide, Adobe Originals typefaces include new designs as well as revivals of classics from typographic history. They uniquely combine the power of Adobe’s unrivaled imaging technologies with the spirit of craftsmanship that has inspired type design for more than 500 years. Ranging in style from fully featured text composition families with Optical sizes to individual typefaces of uncommon character, Adobe Originals always live up to their name.

Glyph Complement PDF files are available online for all Adobe typefaces.

Classical Revivals Some Adobe Originals are revivals of typefaces that are considered classic historical designs, such as Adobe Caslon, Adobe Garamond, Adobe Jenson, and Garamond Premier Pro. To create classical revivals, Adobe’s designers work from impressions of the original type, usually found on rare specimen sheets preserved in libraries, foundries, and private collections throughout the world. During the design process, designers visually compare the original type with Adobe’s digital version. Their revivals capture the form and feel of classical typeface designs with outstanding accuracy in the digital format.

New Text and Display Typefaces Original text and display typefaces of remarkable beauty and digital integrity make up a large part of the Adobe Originals collection. Text families such as Arno, Minion, Kepler, and Warnock include a full complement of weights, characters, and kerning pairs, while beautiful script and display types such as Caflisch Script, Bickham Script, Lithos, Charlemagne, and Trajan offer some of the most exciting designs in the Adobe Type Library.

Glyph and Character Sets Text families in the Adobe Originals collection in OpenType format often include a full range of expert typographic glyphs to meet the exacting demands of professional typesetters and designers. These glyphs include some or all of the following: old style figures, small capitals, ligatures, fractions, superior and inferior figures, and swashes. Our Pro fonts also offer extended multilingual character sets to support additional languages, such as Polish, Turkish, Czech, Greek, and Cyrillic. For more information on the glyphs and character sets in OpenType fonts, refer to page 6.

The Adobe Type Staff At Adobe, type is developed by a staff of designers, each of whom has the specialized skills required to produce world-class digital type. In addition, Adobe’s in-house staff works with other distinguished designers and type experts throughout the world to make sure that the Adobe Type Library offers a wide variety of the highest quality type to creative professionals.

OpenType Fonts OpenType is a cross-platform font file format developed by Adobe and Microsoft. The OpenType format is an extension of the TrueType SFNT format that can support PostScript^® font data and new typographic features. OpenType fonts may include an expanded character set and layout features to provide richer linguistic support and advanced typographic control. They can also be installed and used alongside PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts.

One Cross-Platform Font File Any OpenType font uses a single font file for all of its outline, metric, and bitmap data, making file management simpler. In addition, the same font file works on Macintosh and Windows computers. As a result, OpenType lets you move font files back and forth between platforms with noticeable improvement in cross-platform portability for any documents that use type.

Better Language Support Based on Unicode, an international character encoding that covers virtually all of the world’s languages, OpenType fonts can make multilingual typography easier by including multiple language character sets in one font. All OpenType Pro fonts from Adobe include the standard range of Latin characters used in the Western world and several international characters, including the estimated, litre, and euro currency symbols. OpenType Pro fonts from Adobe add a full range of accented characters to support central and eastern European languages, such as Turkish and Polish. Many of the Pro fonts also contain Cyrillic and Greek character extensions in the same font.

Advanced Typography OpenType fonts may contain more than 65,000 glyphs, unleashing exciting typographic capabilities. Many nonstandard glyphs, such as oldstyle figures, true small capitals, fractions, swashes, superiors, inferiors, titling letters, contextual and stylistic alternates, beginning and ending letterforms, and a full range of ligatures may also be included in a single font. In the past, a typical Western PostScript font was limited to 256 glyphs, forcing you to install and manage two or more style-related fonts in order to access “expert set” characters. OpenType significantly simplifies font management and the publishing workflow by ensuring that all of the required glyphs for a document are contained in one cross-platform font file throughout the workflow.

Historically, some of the highest-quality typefaces have had different designs for different print sizes. Several OpenType fonts from Adobe include four optical size variations: caption, regular, subhead, and display. Called Opticals, these variations have been optimized for use at specific point sizes. Although the exact intended sizes vary by family, the general size ranges include caption (6–8 point), regular (9–13 point), subhead (14–24 point), and display (25–72 point).

OpenType Feature Support To access alternate glyphs in an OpenType font, an application must understand OpenType features and present a user interface that allows end users to select and apply different layout features to text. Applications that don’t provide support for Unicode or advanced OpenType layout features can still access and print the basic glyph sets of OpenType fonts, which are analogous to the glyph sets in PostScript Type 1 fonts.

Several OpenType fonts from Adobe include four optical size variations.

OpenType and Adobe Applications Adobe’s flagship page layout program, InDesign,^® was the first Adobe application to provide advanced OpenType feature support. With InDesign and other OpenType savvy applications, you can turn on OpenType layout features that automatically substitute alternate glyphs in an OpenType font.

Previous font technologies required separate font files for expert character sets and multiple languages. OpenType fonts combine base character sets, expert sets, and extensive additional glyphs into one file.

Further Information Overall, OpenType provides richer support for the world’s languages, more powerful typographic capabilities, better cross-platform compatibility, as well as simplified font management. For more information on OpenType, please refer to the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com/type.

Languages Supported OpenType fonts from Adobe contain a variety of character sets that support different languages around the world.

The exact level of character support for each font family is listed on www.adobe.com/type.

All alphanumeric OpenType fonts contain a minimum character set known as an Adobe Western 2 character set. Some OpenType Pro fonts may also contain one or more of the additional character extensions listed below. Japanese OpenType fonts from Adobe contain their own unique character sets (also listed below).

Adobe Western 2 Fonts with an Adobe Western 2 character set support most western languages including: Afrikaans, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Sami, Spanish, Swahili, and Swedish.

Adobe CE Fonts with an Adobe CE character set extension include the characters necessary to support the following central European languages: Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian (Latin), Slovak, Slovenian, and Turkish.

Greek The Greek alphabet is one of the oldest known writing systems, having been adapted from the Phoenician alphabet about 3,000 years ago. Fonts with a Greek character set include the characters and punctuation required to support the modern Greek language.

Polytonic Greek Fonts that support Polytonic Greek support the basic Greek characters and also include additional archaic Greek characters that are useful when setting historical or Biblical texts in the Greek language.

Cyrillic The Cyrillic alphabet was reformed by Peter the Great in Russia in the early eighteenth century. Fonts that include a Cyrillic character set support the following languages: Russian, Adyg, Avarish, Balkarian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Chechen, Darginish, Ingushian, Kabardino-Cherkesian, Kumykish, Lakish, Lesginian, Macedonian, Mordovsko-Ersatian, Mordovsko-Mokshanian, Nanaish, Nenish, Nivkh, Nogaian, Selkup, Serbian, Tabasaranish, and Ukrainian.

Latin Extended Fonts with a Latin Extended character set include additional Latin characters beyond the combined Adobe Western and Adobe CE character sets to support languages such as Welsh, archaic Danish and Esperanto.

Symbol/Pi Certain fonts contain additional non-alphabetic characters not in standard character sets, such as bullets, ornaments, symbols, flourishes, icons, and border elements.

Custom These fonts may contain a subset of the entire standard Adobe Western 2 character range or a special-purpose glyph set for Japanese, and may have limited layout and linguistic functionality.

Adobe-Japan 1–3 The Adobe-Japan 1–3 character collection contains 9,354 glyphs, including some glyph variants. It provides complete JIS X 0208 support, along with JIS78 (JIS C 6226-1978) variants and IBM Selected Kanji.

PlusN PlusN fonts are based on Adobe-Japan 1-3 character collection (9,354 glyphs), but also include an additional 144 glyphs from Adobe-Japan 1-4 though Adobe-Japan 1-6 regions. The coverage of the JIS x 0208 character set in these fonts is JIS2004-savvy.

Kana Kana fonts contain a subset of the Adobe-Japan 1–3 character collection and include a set of 214 or 415 hiragana and katakana glyphs, depending on the typeface.

Adobe-Korea 1-2 Fonts based on the Adobe-Korea 1-2 character collection support Korean, and contain 18,352 glyphs. All 11,172 hangul, 4,620 hanja (Chinese characters), and a complete set of symbols and punctuation are included. The KS X 1001:1992 standard is supported in its entirety.

Character and Glyph Sets Supported Open-Type fonts from Adobe may also contain an expanded glyph set for enhanced linguistic support and advanced typographic control. The distinction between characters and glyphs is important in understanding OpenType. Characters are the code points assigned by the Unicode standard, which represent the smallest semantic units of language, such as letters. Glyphs are the specific forms or shapes that those characters or letters can take in a font.

When a font has a specific character set, it has a glyph complement that offers default glyph shapes for those characters, and it may have additional glyphs that are stylistic or linguistic variations of the characters. A key point is that one character may be represented by any of several different glyphs. For example, lowercase a, small cap a and an alternate swash lowercase a are all the same character—namely the lowercase a—but they are three separate glyphs. Additionally, although the relationship between glyphs and characters is often one-to-one, it may be many-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. For example, sometimes several characters may be represented by one glyph, as in the case of the ffi ligature, which corresponds to a sequence of three characters: f, f, and i.

For every character, there is a default glyph and positioning behavior. Applying OpenType layout features to one or more characters may change the default positioning or substitute a different glyph. For example, the application of the small capitals feature to the a would substitute the small cap a glyph for the usual lowercase a glyph.

The icons below are used in this guide and on the Adobe web site to identify the specific glyphs that are included in each OpenType font. For more information, please refer to www.adobe.com/type. Also, please refer to the Adobe web site for more information on the exact glyph complements in Japanese OpenType fonts from Adobe.

Ligatures Ligatures are designed to correct awkward combinations where letters may collide. These fonts contain an extended set of ligatures beyond the basic fi and fl ligatures found in most fonts. These special ligatures usually include ff, ffi, and ffl, and they can also include Th, tt, and other special letter combinations. Some fonts, such as Silentium Pro, also include a unique set of uppercase ligatures that impart a liveliness to the letterforms.

Small Caps These letterforms are smaller versions of the normal capitals and are designed to be visually compatible with the lowercase characters of a typeface. They can be used to introduce the first few words at the beginning of a story, or to highlight key words within text. They are also commonly used when setting acronyms or abbreviations, such as IBM, PDF, or ISBN, in text.

Old Style Figures These figures are designed with ascenders and descenders and have features and proportions compatible with the lowercase characters of the typeface. Oldstyle figures, also known as hanging figures, are typically used for text settings because they blend in well with the optical flow and rhythm of the lowercase alphabet. Fonts with oldstyle figures include both proportional (0123456789) and tabular (0123456789) versions.

Proportional Lining Figures Most fonts include lining figures that are designed to be compatible with the capital letters. They are usually capital height or slightly smaller and are typically designed with the same widths, also known as tabular widths. Tabular lining figures (0123456789) are especially useful when setting columns of number, such as in financial reports. Fonts with proportional lining figures (0123456789) also include a set of lining figures that have unique widths that are determined by the shape of the figure. Proportional lining figures are preferred when setting certain text, such as an all-capital headline.

Diagonal Fractions These fonts include an expanded set of the most commonly used diagonal fractions beyond ¼, ½, and ¾ and may include additional fractions such as ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞, ⅓, and ⅔. Some OpenType fonts from Adobe also support the creation of arbitrary fractions.

Superscript/Subscript Superior and inferior figures, also known as superscript and subscript letterforms, are used for footnote references, chemical compounds, and as mathematical exponents.

Ordinals and Superior Letters These fonts contain superior letterforms that are used when creating ordinals, which specify position in a numbered series, and in certain English, French, and Spanish abbreviations, such as Madame, compagnie, and segundo. The extent of the glyph coverage varies, but usually includes the figures ^0123456789 and ^abdeilmnorst.

Swashes Swash capitals, which originated in the italic handwriting of the Italian Renaissance, were adapted as letterforms during the early sixteenth century. Since then, swash letters have evolved along with new handwriting and typeface styles. Swash capitals can be used effectively for expressive passages of text, or for titles and signage when an elegant touch is called for.

Alternates Some fonts include alternate ligatured forms, alternate lowercase letters, or lowercase within uppercase combined forms. The alternate forms were designed to give words a slightly more animated and informal appearance and to lend more interest to type composition. Because of their decorative quality, they are best used in moderation.

Titling Capitals Titling capitals are specially designed letterforms, such as ornate, inline, white-stroked or refined versions of regular capitals, designed for use in all-capital settings or as initial capitals. Titling capitals also have specific letterspacing that lends itself to all-capital settings. Fonts with titling capitals may also include specially designed figures, monetary symbols, related punctuation, and accented characters for use with the titling capitals. Reversed titling capitals can be used as initial forms in book chapters or related paragraphs.

Ornaments Throughout history, type designers have created printer’s ornaments to accompany their typefaces. These ornaments add a personal signature to the type family and can be used as title page decoration, paragraph markers, dividers for blocks of text, or as repeated bands and borders. Common ornaments include flowers, leaves, bullets, brackets, and contemporary graphic decorations.

Case Forms These fonts contain special alternate letterforms and punctuation with a distinct design and spacing for use in all-capital text settings.

Historic Blackletter These fonts contain special historic glyphs that allow users to follow the conventions for German or blackletter text setting.

Adobe CE Fonts with an Adobe CE character set extension include the characters necessary to support the following central European languages: Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian (Latin), Slovak, Slovenian, and Turkish.

Greek The Greek alphabet is one of the oldest known writing systems, having been adapted from the Phoenician alphabet about 3,000 years ago. Fonts with a Greek character set include the characters and punctuation required to support the modern Greek language.

Polytonic Greek Fonts that support Polytonic Greek support the basic Greek characters and also include additional archaic Greek characters that are useful when setting historical or Biblical texts in the Greek language.

Cyrillic The Cyrillic alphabet was reformed by Peter the Great in Russia in the early eighteenth century. Fonts that include a Cyrillic character set support the following languages: Russian, Adyg, Avarish, Balkarian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Chechen, Darginish, Ingushian, Kabardino-Cherkesian, Kumykish, Lakish, Lesginian, Macedonian, Mordovsko-Ersatian, Mordovsko-Mokshanian, Nanaish, Nenish, Nivkh, Nogaian, Selkup, Serbian, Tabasaranish, and Ukrainian.
