The dot, or point (German punkt) is, scientifically speaking, an abstract concept, which indicates with precise certainty the locality of a junction, a meaning, an intersection, etc. We speak of crossing points, meeting points, and also sore points, points of friction, and so on.In graphic terms the dot or point is a materialized area, recognizable by the human eye. It is the smallest graphic unit, as it were the “atom” of every pictorial expression. A dot seldom appears as an individual element but generally takes its meaning from a relationship with another sign, such as the dot on the i, which gives the vertical line the meaning of a vowel; or the geometric dot in the middle of a circle, which thereby comes to symbolize the expression of “center”. By lining up dots to form an area we create a graphic screen (raster) or tint. The dots are no longer regarded as isolated

“atoms” but as a gray effect or the basis of the reproduction technique for halftone printing. The imaginary line – The viewer draws an imaginary line from one dot to another. In ancient times, humans drew imaginary lines between stars as they gazed at the sky and the pictures thus formed from the constellations made the signs of the zodiac. Dots arranged in a straight line at constant intervals are recognized as a line on which one is invited to write. From the examples of dice patterns we have seen that the arrangement of three dots can evoke the idea of a triangle and that the formation of a hexagon of dots produces the idea of circular movement. With a greater effort of the imagination one can also see a pair of crossed triangles, making the Jewish symbol of the six-pointed Star of David (6). From these

The dot, or point (German punkt) is, scientifically speaking, an abstract concept, which indicates with precise certainty the locality of a junction, a meaning, an intersection, etc. We speak of crossing points, meeting points, and also sore points, points of friction, and so on. In graphic terms the dot or point is a materialized area, recognizable by the human eye. It is the smallest graphic unit, as it were the “atom” of every pictorial expression. A dot seldom appears as an individual element but generally takes its meaning from a relationship with another sign, such as the dot on the i, which gives the vertical line the meaning of a vowel; or the geometric dot in the middle of a circle, which thereby comes to symbolize the expression of “center”. By lining up dots to form an area we create a graphic screen (raster) or tint. The dots are no longer regarded as isolated “atoms” but as a gray effect or the basis of the reproduction technique for halftone printing. The imaginary line – The viewer draws an imaginary line from one dot to another. In ancient times,

humans drew imaginary lines between stars as they gazed at the sky and the pictures thus formed from the constellations made the signs of the zodiac. Dots arranged in a straight line at constant intervals are recognized as a line on which one is invited to write. From the examples of dice patterns we have seen that the arrangement of three dots can evoke the idea of a triangle and that the formation of a hexagon of dots produces the idea of circular movement. With a greater effort of the imagination one can also see a pair of crossed triangles, making the Jewish symbol of the six-pointed Star of David (6). From these observations we conclude that the eye at first draws a line to represent the shortest distance between two points and is able to visualize crossovers only on further consideration. The line in itself - The prototype “line” is conceived from the start as a straight line. We take it that a juxtaposition of dots simulates a line, inviting completion. On

Carrois Apostrophe focuses on language extension and the development of corporate type. The studio was founded in 1975 by Ralph Carrois. The typeface for Suzuki was one of Ralph’s early projects, and he has since designed typefaces for TYPO3, the Neue National Galerie, and the Museo de Art de Ponce, among many others. In cooperation with Erik Spiekermann, Carrois Apostrophe has realized projects for Cisco, the German television broadcaster ZDF, designed Fira for Mozilla, and FF Real which was released by Fontshop. The studio is currently working on new designs and smart plugins for the font editor Glyphs. Designed to integrate with the character of the Mozilla FirefoxOS, the Fira typefaces also aim to cover the legibility needs for a large range of handsets varying in screen quality and rendering. The Fira font family comes in 3 widths, all accompanied by italic styles. The package also includes a Mono Spaced

variant. This project is led by Carrois, a type foundry based in Berlin.

The dot, or point (German punkt) is, scientifically speaking, an abstract concept, which indicates with precise certainty the locality of a junction, a meaning, an intersection, etc. We speak of crossing points, meeting points, and also sore points, points of friction, and so on.In graphic terms the dot or point is a materialized area, recognizable by the human eye. It is the smallest graphic unit, as it were the “atom” of every pictorial expression. A dot seldom appears as an individual element but generally takes its meaning from a relationship with another sign, such as the dot on the i, which gives the vertical line the meaning of a vowel; or the geometric dot in the middle of a circle, which thereby comes to symbolize the expression of “center”. By lining up dots to form an area we create a graphic screen (raster) or tint. The dots are no longer regarded as isolated “atoms” but as a gray

effect or the basis of the reproduction technique for halftone printing. The imaginary line – The viewer draws an imaginary line from one dot to another. In ancient times, humans drew imaginary lines between stars as they gazed at the sky and the pictures thus formed from the constellations made the signs of the zodiac. Dots arranged in a straight line at constant intervals are recognized as a line on which one is invited to write. From the examples of dice patterns we have seen that the arrangement of three dots can evoke the idea of a triangle and that the formation of a hexagon of dots produces the idea of circular movement. With a greater effort of the imagination one can also see a pair of crossed triangles, making the Jewish symbol of the six-pointed Star of David (6). From these observations we conclude that the eye at first draws a line to represent the shortest
