”Gentium” is a Latin word meaning belonging to the nations. The
|
||
Gentium typeface family was created to enable the diverse ethnic
|
||
groups—nations—around the world who use the Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek
|
||
scripts to produce readable, high-quality publications. It supports
|
||
almost the complete range of Unicode characters for these scripts,
|
||
including a comprehensive range of diacritics and a large set of
|
||
symbols useful for linguistics and literacy work.
|
||
|
||
Gentium’s design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably
|
||
compact, and visually attractive. One design strategy for greater
|
||
readability is to make slightly more generous counters, which are the
|
||
spaces inside and around the strokes of the letters. For compactness,
|
||
capital letters are modest in size and slightly compressed. For
|
||
attractiveness, Gentium combines good design with careful
|
||
letterspacing, plus a friendly, calligraphic character.
