█ (RELEASE NOTES) ██ █
█ ▓▓ ██ █
█ ██ Type designers have been integrating the design of sans serifs ██ █
█ ██ with serifed forms since the 1920s. Early examples are Edward ██ █
█ ██ Johnston's design for the London Underground, and Eric Gill's ██ █
█ ██ Gill Sans. These were followed by Jan van Krimpen's Romulus ██ █
█ ██ Sans, Frederic Goudy's Goudy Sans, Hermann Zapf's Optima, Hans ██ █
█ ██ Meier's Syntax and Adrian Frutiger's Frutiger. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Now, ITC Stone Humanist joins this tradition. It is a careful ██ █
█ ██ blend of traditional sans serif shapes and classical serifed ██ █
█ ██ letterforms. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ ITC Stone Humanist grew out an experiment with the medium ██ █
█ ██ weight of ITC Stone Sans, a design that already showed a ██ █
█ ██ relationship to these sans serif-serif hybrids. ITC Stone Sans ██ █
█ ██ has proportions based on those of ITC Stone Serif, and its ██ █
█ ██ thick-and-thin stroke contrast suggests the bloodline of ██ █
█ ██ humanistic sans serif typefaces. But other aspects of ITC ██ █
█ ██ Stone Sans are more closely aligned to the gothics and ██ █
█ ██ grotesques, a tradition that accounts for the largest portion ██ █
█ ██ of sans serif designs. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Enter ITC Stone Humanist. During his experiments with the ██ █
█ ██ earlier design, Sumner Stone recalls, "I was actually quite ██ █
█ ██ surprised at how seemingly subtle changes transformed the ██ █
█ ██ face," moving the design firmly into the humanist tradition. ██ █
█ ██ "The form of the 'g,' 'l,' 'M,' 'W,' and more subtly the 'a' ██ █
█ ██ and 'e' are part of the restructuring of the family," he ██ █
█ ██ explains. The top endings of vertical lower case strokes have ██ █
█ ██ been cropped on an angle, as have the ascender and descender ██ █
█ ██ stroke endings. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ ITC Stone Humanist is a full-fledged member of the ITC Stone ██ █
█ ██ family. It has been produced with the same complement of ██ █
█ ██ weights, and the x-heights, proportions, and underlying ██ █
█ ██ character shapes are completely compatible with the three ██ █
█ ██ original designs. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ The original ITC Stone Sans is a popular typeface, in part ██ █
█ ██ because of its notable versatility. ITC Stone Humanist shares ██ █
█ ██ this virtue, and can be used successfully at very small sizes, ██ █
█ ██ in long passages of text copy, and even as billboard-sized ██ █
█ ██ display type. ██ █
