Klavika Light Italic OT
Klavika, by Eric Olson of Process Type Foundry, was released in 2004. In the time since, Klavika has become one of the past decade's most popular typefaces. It has been a favorite of NBC and its sister stations in on-air promotions, and is in heavy use by ABC Sports/ESPN, Comcast Xfinity, General Motors, and a great number of other companies, large and small. Perhaps Klavika is most noticeable as the basis for the Facebook logo. The Klavika Gallery page has a number of these examples on display.

Process Type Foundry describes Klavika as an "unadorned, modern and infinitely flexible" typeface for the 21st century. While the Web 2.0 era introduced softer, rounded sans serifs as the norm, Klavika carries an air of edgy modernity. Its high x-height and open letterforms lend it excellent legibility at smaller sizes, and it has the distinctiveness to make for eye-catching headlines.
Klavika OT vs. Klavika Basic OT
Klavika is available in two OpenType versions: Klavika OT and Klavika Basic OT. Klavika OT contains a bevy of alternate glyphs and features, such as Small Caps, Oldstyle Figures, and a large selection of arrows. While Klavika Basic OT does not contain all of the above glyphs and features, it does still include the complete Western and Central European language character sets.

Character SetOpenType Features Hover over a feature to learn more. Click a feature to filter Character Set view.- Show All Glyphs
-
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.
-
Fractions Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions.
-
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.
-
Lining Figures This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.
- Localized Forms
-
Oldstyle Figures This feature changes selected figures from the default lining style to oldstyle form.
-
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.
-
Small Caps This feature turns lowercase characters into small capitals. Forms related to small capitals, such as oldstyle figures, may be included.
-
Stylistic Set Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
-
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.
