Skolar Latin
Skolar is a text serif, originally designed with scholarly and multilingual publications in mind. The typeface maintains its credibility while incorporating a subtle personal style, neither neutral nor conspicuous.
Prominent serifs and low-contrast modulation add to its robustness, and, together with a relatively large x-height, improves the typeface’s readability in small sizes. This 6-style family with a large character set is flexible enough for complex text settings and editorial work. It also becomes distinctive in bigger sizes, fitting the demands of corporate design.
The structure of the typeface is rather conventional, but the stroke-modulation stylistically reflects contemporary serif typefaces. The italic has a shallow angle and large counters for better readability in small print. It is easily recognized but not ostentatious, blending well with the upright styles. The family includes a complex set of useful arrows which can be easily keyed and infinitely combined using OpenType features.
Skolar has received international recognition at the ED Awards in 2008 and was selected as one of the best typefaces of 2008 by i love typography. It was exhibited on 23nd International Biennale of Graphic Design Brno.
