FONTLOG for the Quattrocento fonts

This file provides detailed information on the Quattrocento Font Software.


This information should be distributed along with the Quattrocento fonts
and any derivative works.

Basic Font Information

Quattrocento Roman is a Classic, Elegant, Sober and Strong typeface.


Their wide and open letterforms, and great x-height, make it very legible for body
text at small sizes.
And their tiny details that only shows up at bigger sizes make it also great for
display use.

Some of their distinctive characteristics are:


- Low Contrast. The thins are just a tad thiner than the thicks, almost monotone.
- Cupped, tapered serifs that flows naturally into the stems.
- Distinctive K, R and & tail.
- Cupped B, D, E, F, P, R, T, Z.
- The Q is a humble expression of admiration and gratitude for Doyald Young.
- Alternate M and W.
- Narrow L and T for better fit.
- Almost flat top serif on the lowercases.
- Shoulders of the m and n rise above the serif.
- Serif-less bottom j and y.
