Skolar is a text serif typeface family, originally designed with scholarly and multilingual publications in mind. The Skolar fonts maintain its credibility while incorporating a subtle personal style, neither neutral nor conspicuous. Prominent serifs and low-contrast modulation add to its robustness, and, together with a relatively large x-height, improves the typeface’s readability in small sizes. This 6-weight family and large character set is flexible enough for complex text settings and editorial work. Skolar also becomes distinctive in bigger sizes, fitting the demands of corporate design.
There have been many practical solutions introduced in the typeface; the capitals are rather low in comparison to the ascenders. This gives the Skolar typefaces even texture and more space for capital diacritical marks. The structure of Skolar is strictly conventional, but the stroke-modulation stylistically reflects contemporary serif typefaces. The italic has a shallow angle and large counters for better readability in small print. It is easily recognized but not ostentatious, blending well with the uprights. Semibold is weighted to emphasize text blocks, where Bold is intended for word clusters.
Skolar has already received international recognition at the Ed-Awards competition 2008 and was selected as one of the best typefaces of 2008 by i love typography.
This version includes advanced typographic tools, such as: discretionary ligatures, small caps, five sets of figures, superiors, inferiors, fractions, various bullets, and a complex set of smart arrows which can be easily keyed and combined in infinite ways using OpenType features.
