First seen on MyFonts: December 26th, 2007 MinusculeMinuscule was inspired by Émile Javal’s research into the Physiology of Reading. He was a XIXth century ophtalmologist, the first to point out how we read. Minuscule characteristics are large x-height, robust slab serifs, vertical stress, open structure, big counters, low contrast. Minuscule is a typeface for extremely small sizes, which could be used under the commonly acknoweledged threshold of legibility (around 7 points). At this stage, the loss is so important during the shift to a lower size that I quickly decided to design a master for each size. Five versions have been developed, optimized for a use in 6 (Minuscule Six), 5 (Minuscule Cinq), 4 (Minuscule Quatre), 3 (Minuscule Trois) and 2 pts (Minuscule Deux). Minuscule received the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design from the Type Directors Club New-York, in the TDC2 2005 Type Design Competition (category Text). Not quite what you’re looking for?
