描述信息

The x-height of our Walbaum Text is Neo-classically reasonable in reaction to Baroque experimentation with proportions. Its descenders are relatively long; its ascenders are on a level with upper case letters. In the italic designs, lower case letters are inclined slightly more than upper case ones: this is a typical phenomenon seen in most historical type faces and we have already got accustomed to it over all those centuries. The minor irregularities and the soft details of the original type face have been retained for pleasant reading. The already mentioned figures in the italic designs have been completely redrawn to preserve the time-conditioned, uniform character of the type face family. All designs have been balanced for small sizes under 12 points. My work on Walbaum did not take long thanks to its very economizing form; the rough digitalization of its eight designs lasted exactly from 2 to 23 April 2002. This solid body face can be used for any sort of fiction, in particular, however, for German Romantic novels from rural settings.
