Paige Specimen - Diana Ovezea

a flared-serif, paper-folded typeface

with al now ension s u m e-di as bOn e r h t rs acte r a h c

disclaimer Don’t be too harsh. This typeface was developed in just one week! It is a work in progress.

Paige is a display typeface meant to be used at large sizes.

It was designed as a headline companion to the sans serif typeface FF Profile. With similar proportions as FF Profile – expecially regarding the ascender, descender, caps, and x-heigth – Paige can be used for headlines while FF Profile is the body text. Of course, Paige can be used on its own or combinations with other constrasting typefaces.

Its unusual, subtle flare-serifs let it keep the character of a sans-serif, while bringing a bit of contrast to the letter shapes.

Paige’s breaks remind of bent pieces of paper. These give it an edge at large sizes and make it perfect for headlines and logos. Actually, the letter shapes were initally constructed using a long strip of paper, which was bend to make letter shapes.

Origami – from ori meaning “folding” and kami meaning “paper” – is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.

Paige was designed to work as a companion to the beautifully versatile FF Profile Pro. It has similar proportions vertically. Horizontally, it is narrower. It could also be used in setting bilingual texts.

When Paige is the Headline, FF Profile works as TextType

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradise. matic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. »» FF Profile

Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien und Konsonantien leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen Sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines grossen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden fliesst durch ihren Ort und versorgt sie mit den nötigen Regelialien. Es ist ein paradiesmatisches Land, in dem einem gebratene Satzteile in den Mund fliegen. Nicht einmal von der allmächtigen Interpunktion werden die Blindtexte beherrscht – ein geradezu unorthographisches Leben. Eines Tages aber beschloss eine kleine Zeile Blindtext, ihr Name war Lorem Ipsum, hinaus zu gehen in die weite Grammatik.

Der grosse Oxmox riet ihr davon ab, da es dort wimmele von bösen Kommata, wilden Fragezeichen und hinterhältigen Semikoli, doch das Blindtextchen liess sich nicht beirren. Es packte seine sieben Versalien, schob sich sein Initial in den Gürtel und machte sich auf den Weg. Als es die ersten Hügel des Kursivgebirges erklommen hatte, warf es einen letzten Blick zurück auf die Skyline seiner Heimatstadt Buchstabhausen, die Headline von Alphabetdorf und die Subline seiner Gasse. »» Paige
