Bookmania Font

0 Comment42

Bookmania Font (2011) combines the sturdy elegance of the original Bookman Oldstyle (1901) with the swashy exuberance of the Bookmans of the 1960s. With 687 swash characters, more than any previous Bookman, the possibilities are endless. The broad range of weights make it great for display use, but it also works well for text. Unlike some Bookman revivals, it retains the original classic sloped roman for the italic. Bookmania includes all the features you would expect in a modern digital typeface. Feature Summary: 5 weights: Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, and Black Matching italics for all weights Matching small caps for all weights* Over 687 swash characters* 35 optional ligatures* Lining and old style figures (both proportional and tabular)* Full “f” ligature set* Alternate characters* Automatic fractions* Automatic ordinals* Extended language support (Unicode support required), including all the swash and alternate characters Important: Features of Bookmania marked with an asterisk (*) require OpenType advanced typography support in order to work (swashes, especially).

It works best with applications like Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress. In other applications, features may be inaccessible. A “glyph” palette or window is required to access all but the basic swash variants. Check your application’s user guide for availability of these features.
