THE GRAIL

The alphabet was chosen by measurement: the engine drew every candidate form of the confusable letters (a g l i q d y z, I J Q R Z, 0 1 7), rendered them the size the eye sees nine-point type, blurred as the eye blurs them, and searched every combination for the set with the largest minimum distance between any two characters, capitals, lowercase and figures together. The winning forms are THE GRAIL; the runners-up stay in the font as stylistic sets. On PHI's proportions and Tracy's spacing, with true small capitals, tabular, proportional, raised and lowered figures, currency, arrows, mathematical and legal signs, box drawing, check boxes and marks, Greek capitals and Central European accents. Fourteen styles, Thin to Black with true italics, plus a CAPTION grade for 6 to 8 point and a DISPLAY grade for headlines in the same download.

Styles: Thin, Thin Italic, Light, Light Italic, Regular, Regular Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Semibold, Semibold Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Black, Black Italic. Files: TTF for Mac, PC and websites. Commercial use is included in every licence.
