Tabular Lining Figures

More Information

Tabular Lining Figures [tnum–lnum]

Based on the proportions of the capitals, lining figures have an invariable height. With the combination of the tabular spacing format, the width of each numeral is uniformized. This feature is useful when numerals need to all lined up. It facilitates the reading of numbers set within columns or tables. As some applications don’t have access to this feature, proportional figures are set as the default choice.

Proportional Oldstyle Figures

More Information
Proportional Oldstyle Figures [pnum–onum]

Based on the design of the lowercase, oldstyle figures have varying ascenders and descenders. Like most of the letters, each number has an appropriate width based on its shape. The combination of oldstyle figures with proportional setting generate numerals perfectly adapted for text.

This feature substitutes glyphs with their matching smaller alternates. The numerators are the same glyphs that are used to create fractions, their vertical position remains within the capital letters height. These glyphs are reduced in size and designed slightly heavier to keep them consistent with the rest of the font.

About

Considered by some as an entire genre of type design, Clarendon has been revisited many times since its first appearance in 1845, resulting in the release of several adaptations and revivals—one of the most noted is Hermann Eidenbenz’s adaptation in the 1950s. Drawn by François Rappo, Clarendon Graphic is a remarkably innovative take on the style, bringing a new graphic identity to it and fulfilling its modernist potential.

Clarendon Graphic is a fluid, dynamic, and highly graphic typeface. Its lusty frame features a moderate stroke contrast, crowned by ball terminals and upturned tails. Lighter than earlier Egyptian type styles, Clarendon Graphic’s serifs are still prominent and characterized by their bracketed rectangular shape. Being the only Clarendon offering light styles, Clarendon Graphic works beautifully at both large and small sizes, as it has been specifically optimized for text. And, for the first time for a modern Clarendon, this typeface has two complete sets of italics: a slanted Roman and a true cursive italic.
