█ (RELEASE NOTES) ██ █
█ ▓▓ ██ █
█ ██ Chronicle, a "blended Scotch." ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ A vigorous hybrid of time-honored forms and contemporary design ██ █
█ ██ strategies, Chronicle Text is a new suite of high-performance ██ █
█ ██ text faces that brings strength and utility to the classic serif. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Seriffed text faces are often casually grouped into two major ██ █
█ ██ divisions: wholehearted Old Styles, which vaguely reference their ██ █
█ ██ calligraphic origins, and steely Moderns, whose highly rational ██ █
█ ██ designs aspire to mathematical precision. Old Styles are prized ██ █
█ ██ for their warmth, which they achieve through heavily bracketed ██ █
█ ██ serifs and a policy of planned inconsistencies (an Old Style's ██ █
█ ██ lowercase c and o are thickest in different places, for example.) ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Moderns produce the opposite result ù a detached, elegant ██ █
█ ██ simplicity ù and, crucially for both typefounders and designers, ██ █
█ ██ their forms naturally invite endless variation in weight and ██ █
█ ██ width. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Bridging these extremes is the Transitional style, which combines ██ █
█ ██ the energy and ardor of Old Styles with the sobriety and ██ █
█ ██ adaptability of Moderns. The most functional and enduring ██ █
█ ██ subspecies of Transitional is the Scotch, a form of typeface ██ █
█ ██ originating at the end of the eighteenth century, and associated ██ █
█ ██ with Scottish typefounders Alexander Wilson and William Miller. ██ █
█ ██ The opening of the Binny & Ronaldson foundry in Philadelphia, ██ █
█ ██ begun by Scottish ΘmigrΘs Archibald Binny and James Ronaldson ██ █
█ ██ in 1796, helped establish the style in the United States, where ██ █
█ ██ it has since remained a fundamental part of the modern typographic ██ █
█ ██ vocabulary. Some of the twentieth centuryÆs most significant ██ █
█ ██ designs are tributes to the Scotch style, including W. A. ██ █
█ ██ Dwiggins' interpretive Caledonia (1938), and Matthew Carter's ██ █
█ ██ definitive anthology Miller (1997). ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ The Style Revisited ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Nineteenth century Scotch faces enjoyed early popularity among ██ █
█ ██ book printers, but the rise of industrialized newspaper ██ █
█ ██ publishing quickly revealed their limitations. Delicate hairlines ██ █
█ ██ and serifs vanished under thin ink, low quality paper, and ██ █
█ ██ ruthless presses that operated at breakneck speeds. Signature ██ █
█ ██ details, like the pipe-shaped tail on the capital R and lowercase ██ █
█ ██ a, became traps for ink and pulp ù a problem that plagued every ██ █
█ ██ lowercase letter in the dainty Scotch italic. The faces that ██ █
█ ██ were gutsy and smart when carefully printed were undone by the ██ █
█ ██ slightest variables: underinked they became dour, overinked they ██ █
█ ██ felt sluggish. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Beginning in 2002, we revisited the Scotch style with the goal ██ █
█ ██ of producing two families of fonts: a text face that would ██ █
█ ██ withstand the effects of different kinds of media, and a ██ █
█ ██ display face that would unlock the potential of the Scotch ██ █
█ ██ style to support a broad range of weights and widths. The ██ █
█ ██ result is Chronicle Text, a series of hard-working text faces ██ █
█ ██ produced in four press-sensitive ôgradesö, and Chronicle Display, ██ █
█ ██ an abundant collection of 46 display faces that includes three ██ █
█ ██ different widths, six different weights, and versions for two ██ █
█ ██ different sizes ù each in both roman and italic. ██ █
