FF Nuvo Mono OT Extra Bold

Designed by Siegfried Rückel in 2011

Published by FontFont

Formats
OpenType
OpenType — a flexible and full–featured font format — is compatible with print, web and use on PC & Mac computers.

During a stay in Paris, French magazines with their elegant, extravagant appearance inspired Siegfried Rückel for this typeface. He wanted to design a kind of rounded typeface without using the common methods. So, he took advantage from the visual limitations of our eyes: the stroke endings appear soft when seen from a distance or in small point sizes but reveal their peculiar forms at a closer look. It’s a contemporary type design with vertical contrast, and especially the characters a, g and y show the calligraphic touch. Alternate characters, for example a, g, k, s, y, add typographic versatility. Siegfried is sure that it’s a very suitable typeface for magazine design from headlines to longer texts as well as for advertising, packaging, corporate design,…. Since 2011, a monospaced variant for all weights, including Small Caps and Italics offers new options for traditional and unusual designs. The slightly lower x-height in comparison to FF Nuvo emphasizes FF Nuvo Mono’s typewriter character.

    1. Show All Glyphs
    2. 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.
    3. Small Capitals From Capitals
      This feature turns capital characters into small capitals. It is generally used for words which would otherwise be set in all caps, such as acronyms, but which are desired in small-cap form to avoid disrupting the flow of text.
    4. Case-sensitive Forms
      Shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences or sets of lining figures; also changes oldstyle figures to lining figures.
    5. Discretionary Ligatures
      Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. This feature covers those ligatures which may be used for special effect, at the user's preference.
    6. Historical Forms
      This feature replaces the default (current) forms with the historical alternates, e.g. the long form of s or the old Fraktur k.
    7. Lining Figures
      This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.
    8. Ordinals
      Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
    9. Stylistic Alternates
      Replaces the default forms with stylistic alternates. Note that there may be more than one stylistic alternate for a given character.
    10. Scientific Inferiors
      Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors.
    11. Small Caps
      This feature turns lowercase characters into small capitals. Forms related to small capitals, such as oldstyle figures, may be included.
    12. Stylistic Set
      Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
    13. Stylistic Set 2
    14. Stylistic Set 3
    15. Stylistic Set 4
    16. Stylistic Set 5
    17. Stylistic Set 6
    18. Stylistic Set 7
    19. Stylistic Set 9
    20. Stylistic Set 10
    21. Stylistic Set 11
    22. Subscript
      The "subs" feature may replace a default glyph with a subscript glyph, or it may combine a glyph substitution with positioning adjustments for proper placement.
    23. Superscript
      Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles).
    24. Slashed Zero
      Some fonts contain both a default form of zero, and an alternative form which uses a diagonal slash through the counter. Especially in condensed designs, it can be difficult to distinguish between 0 and O (zero and capital O) in any situation where capitals and lining figures may be arbitrarily mixed. This feature allows the user to change from the default 0 to a slashed form.
