Hermes FB Bold OT
Formats
OpenType — a flexible and full–featured font format — for print and screen use on PC & Mac computers.
Updated in 2010 with new weights, italics, and alternate glyphs (a, g, w, W, M) Hermes FB has become a much more versatile typeface.
Schriftguss and Wollmer called it Hermes; Berthold called it Block. Heinz Hoffmann’s 1908 design inspired FB Hermes, which evokes the German grotesks that were workhorses of factory printing 100 years ago. Blunt corners suggest the wear and tear of rough presswork. Matthew Butterick created the original styles in 1995. In 2010, he added more weights, italics, and alternate glyphs to expand the family’s versatility.

-
Access All Alternates This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible. This serves several purposes: An application may not support the feature by which the desired glyph would normally be accessed; the user may need a glyph outside the context supported by the normal substitution, or the user may not know what feature produces the desired glyph. Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature.
-
Standard Ligatures Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, e.g. 'fi', 'fl'. This feature is enabled by default and cannot currently be disabled.
-
Ordinals Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
-
Proportional Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths with corresponding glyphs set on glyph-specific (proportional) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
-
Stylistic Alternates Replaces the default forms with stylistic alternates. Note that there may be more than one stylistic alternate for a given character.
-
Stylistic Set Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
- Stylistic Set 2
- Stylistic Set 3
- Stylistic Set 4
- Stylistic Set 5
- Stylistic Set 6
- Stylistic Set 7
- Stylistic Set 8
-
Tabular Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on proportional widths with corresponding glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
-
Unicase This feature maps upper- and lowercase letters to a mixed set of lowercase and small capital forms, resulting in a single case alphabet. If aligning to the x-height, smallcap glyphs may be substituted, or specially designed unicase forms might be used.
