Monotype said the Ysobel typeface family is intended primarily for newspaper and periodical copy. Designed by Robin Nicholas, head of typography at Monotype Imaging, and type designers Alice Savoie, also working at Monotype Imaging's UK subsidiary, and Delve Withrington based in the U.S., the Ysobel typefaces were designed for both text and display applications, according to Monotype Imaging.
"The versatility of Ysobel makes it a joy to use," said Allan Haley, director of words and letters at Monotype Imaging. "However, Ysobel is first an exceptionally legible and elegant design."
According to Nicholas, the idea for the Ysobel faces started when he was asked to create a custom, updated version of the classic Century Schoolbook typeface, which was designed to be an extremely readable typeface - one that made its appearance in school textbooks beginning in the early 1900s.
"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," said Nicholas.
The company said development began with the text version of Ysobel, which comprises eight fonts. All weights feature lining and old style numerals, fractions, numbers and extended Latin language coverage. Small caps are also available in the Ysobel Pro Regular font. The 12-font Ysobel Display Pro family, the company said, is a completely redrawn version of Ysobel; it is narrower and features other nuances for improving the design's appearance at bigger text sizes.
"Ysobel has the soft, inviting letter shapes of Century Schoolbook but contrasts these with more angular serifs," said Haley.
