Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface family
|
|
designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the world who use the
|
|
Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications. The design is
|
|
intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive.
|
|
Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design" in two major
|
|
international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! (2001), TDC2003 (2003).
|
|
|
|
Gentium provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The
|
|
additional 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with
|
|
the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and
|
|
attention to their use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek,
|
|
including a number of alternate forms.
|
|
|
|
Gentium Regular also includes some Cyrillic glyphs, but they are only early
|
|
drafts. A future version will include a completely revised set, including
|
|
italic, and will expand the support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic to Unicode
|
|
4.1.
