aa HISTORY

Calibri™ Fonts Family is part of the modern sans serif family with subtle \roundings on stems and corners. Calibri was designed by Luc(as) de Groot.

The Calibri fonts features real italics, small caps, and multiple numeral sets. Calibri Fonts Family's proportions allow high impact in tightly set lines of big and small text alike. Calibri's many curves and the new rasteriser team up in bigger sizes to reveal a warm and soft character. The Calibri Fonts Family is featured in the Microsoft ClearType Font Collection, a set of fonts developed to take advantage of ClearType to improve the reading experience in Windows Vista and Office 2007

FUTURE

l Typography

Typography keeps changing time to time in the eary 80s and 90s layouts of the advertisement the fonts were thicker with with serif fonts. The relationship between competition and innovation is universal. I believe that global communication is going to force designers—and thus typographers—to push themselves to understand and engage multiple cultures simultaneously. That’s probably not something any one designer can pull off, but I expect that we’ll see a lot of interesting collaboration, especially when it comes to ensuring that global marketing campaigns don’t keep getting botched by non-natives bad attempts at setting a “foreign” language. according to me globally “sanskrit” launguage will be accepted which is very logical easy to learn,write and read. In this fast moving globalising world the word “Foriegn” won’t be used in few fifty years.
