What is the Pevensey™ font?
Pevensey comes in seven weights with gradual weight changes between them for ease of selection, and each weight has Regular, Italic, and Oblique versions. The weights that are intended for large bodies of text are Regular and DemiBold. In keeping with the house style, the fonts are numbered (unconventionally but helpfully, we think) in ascending order from 1 Regular to 7 Black, which makes font selection so much easier in your software’s font menu. In full, the weights are 1 Regular, 2 DemiBold, 3 Bold, 4 ExtraBold, 5 Heavy, 6 Extra Heavy, and 7 Black. We hope you agree that the font is very readable on the page, and there’s an example on the Web page that gives a brief overview. More…
Each Pevensey font contains 1,200 glyphs, with all the expected Western and Eastern European accented characters; Standard Ligatures plus lots of non-standard ligatures as special glyphs for common abbreviations such as Mr., Mrs., St., Rd., and so on and similarly for 1st to 9th and 0th; swash characters; stylistic alternates; 69 SmallCaps glyphs with letters numbers and punctuation all separately kerned; all distinct fractions up to tenths; historical forms; 71 curly characters (including accented ones) for endings as an Ornamental Variation; and over 3,000 class-kerning pairs. Fuller details are in the .zip file, athough many of these features are easily accessed only in the Open Type version.
