Description-en: extended smart font family for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic
Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface family
designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the world who use the
Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications. The design is
intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive.
Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design" in two major
international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! (2001) and TDC2003
(2003). The goal is to provide a single Unicode-based font family that
contains a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or
Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic
needs, and provide a matching Greek face. In addition, there is provision for
other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This font makes use of
state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues, such
as the need to position arbitrary combinations of base glyphs and diacritics
optimally.
.
Gentium Plus is based on the original Gentium design. However, it now
has the full OpenType and Graphite support that Doulos SIL and Charis
SIL contain — including full IPA support.
.
Work is ongoing to provide bold and bold-italic weights, as well as a
complete book-weight family.
.
Webfont versions and HTML/CSS examples are also available.
.
The full font sources are publicly available at
https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium
An open workflow is used for building, testing and releasing.
