Ysobel: Eine neue Schriftfamilie in Text- und Akzidenz-Versionen
Ysobel™ ist eine neue Serifenschriftfamilie mit Text- und Akzidenz-Versionen, die durch die Schriften Century® und Century Schoolbook® aus den Anfängen des 20. Jahrhunderts inspiriert wurde. Ysobel nimmt einige der weichen, runden Buchstabenformen der Century Schoolbook wieder auf, kontrastiert diese jedoch mit markanteren Serifen und Abschlüssen. Die Großbuchstaben sind schmaler gehalten als die von Century [...]
Robin Nicholas’s early training as an apprentice draftsman let his natural artistic talent fuse with the accuracy and attention to detail required in technical drawing. Typeface design is a similar blend of right- and left-brain activities. Happily for those of us who use fonts, Nicholas’s career path took a turn when he joined the Monotype Type Drawing Office in 1965.
After a period of training at Monotype, Nicholas’s first projects involved redrawing master artwork for typefaces licensed [...]
Born in 1970, Delve Withrington originally hails from Asheville, North Carolina. He studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. Delve has worked for FontShop in San Francisco. In 1996, he founded his own studio in Berkeley, California.
Fonts: Blot Test (1999), Cody, Continuo (1996), Delve Hand (2003), Peso (1999), Tilden Sans, Ysobel™ (2009, with Robin Nicholas and Alice Savoie).
Alice Savoie is a talented young type designer, already an award winner. Her love for type was sparked during her college years when she was inspired by teachers passionate about type.
Alice achieved an MA with distinction in typeface design at Reading University in 2007, and, in the same year, won the award for the best Greek text typeface during the International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication in Thessaloniki, Greece. Alice worked in graphic design practices in Prague and [...]

The Ysobel™ typeface family is not only elegant; it is also exceptionally legible and space economical. A collaborative design effort between Robin Nicholas, as lead designer and project director, Delve Withrington and Alice Savoie of Monotype Imaging, the project had the primary design goal of creating a typeface family for setting text in newspapers and periodicals. The result, however, is also ideal for any application that requires quick and easy assimilation of text.According to Nicholas, “The idea for the design started when I was asked to develop a custom version of Century Schoolbook. I wanted to give the design a more contemporary feel, although the client ultimately decided to keep their typeface closer to the original. The project nevertheless gave me ideas for a new design. Since designing Nimrod, some 30 years ago, I had wanted to make a more modern typeface family for newspapers and magazines – this seemed the ideal candidate.”
Ysobel (pronounced “Isabel”) has the soft, inviting letter shapes of Century Schoolbook but contrasts these with more incised serifs and terminals. Its capitals are also narrower than those of Century Schoolbook, and care was taken to ensure that they harmonize perfectly with the lowercase. Ysobel’s x-height is full-bodied without disrupting lowercase proportions. In addition, curved terminals, such as those in the “C,” “c” and “e,” were drawn more open as an aid to legibility and readability in text copy. Weight stress is near vertical, and hairlines are robust to ensure character fidelity in small point sizes.
Development began with the text version of the family, which has four weights, each with an italic companion. All weights feature lining and old style numerals, fractions, superiors and extended Latin language coverage. Small caps are also available in the Roman Regular design. Ysobel Display is a completely redrawn version of the typeface; it is narrower, and has a slightly smaller x-height, thinner hairlines and subtle design changes to improve its appearance when set at large sizes.
The Display Italic received particular attention to make it ideal for setting headlines, subheads and short blocks of copy. Changes include a slightly greater italic angle and more cursive treatment of some letter shapes. Alternative styles of capital “J” and “Q,” to provide variation, are available in all weights.
