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 [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.

More Information

1/2 1/3 2/3 1/4

Ordinals

More Information
Ordinals [ordn]

This feature replaces any letter following a numeral with its matching superior letters. French language uses the ordinal indicators such as ‘er’ for 1er premier, while Spanish, Portuguese and Italian require the feminine and masculine ordinals ‘a,’ ‘o’ for 1º, 1ª. Ordinals are designed to match the weight of the typeface.

More Information
Slashed Zero [zero]

Originally created to avoid the confusion between the ‘0’ and the ‘O’, this feature substitutes all zeros in a selected text by a slashed form of the zero.

Proportional Oldstyle Figures [onum]

Tabular figures are all of equal width. They are only needed when the figures must all line up from one line to the next, as in a table. Proportional figures have varying widths, just like most letters; each number has a width appropriate to its design. Lining figures are all the same height, usually similar to that of capital letters. They are needed for use with all-capital settings.

About

François Rappo revives the work of Jean Jannon through this meticulous study of a quintessential seventeenth-century French type. JJannon’s letters reflect the sense of grandeur and attention to detail that defined the Baroque era.

Swiss-born, Jean Jannon worked at the Estienne printing atelier in Paris before escaping to Sedan, France to flee the Protestant Reformation. He then found employment as a printer for the Calvinist Academy where he began to cut his own letters. In 1641, he received a commission from the Imprimerie Royale in Paris, a project from which Caractères de l’Université originated. For nearly three hundred years, Jannon’s letters were misattributed to Claude Garamond. It was only at the beginning of the twentieth century that the eminent scholar Beatrice Warde would rectify this inaccuracy.

This contemporary version of JJannon highlights this historical saga. Rappo masterfully reinvigorates its distinctive elegance and sharpness by preserving the asymmetrical axis, the small inclined bowl of the “a,” and the detailed cupped serifs from the original drawings.
