Pentagramme

Or a five-pointed star, is a symbol of the microcosm, i.e. of man. A type face locked into its proportions has, therefore, a lot to do with cabbala. But a geometrical dogma usually is not a good guide when deciding on proportions in typography. It is better to rely on one’s sense and experience. All emotions finish when we start using a ruler and a compass.

The Pentagramme type face thus remains a mere experiment. It is, therefore, surprising, that it has already been used with success for the setting of literary magazines and advertising brochures. It combines the qualities of both book and display type faces. Its weight is barely perceptible; in smaller sizes it appears almost monolinear. The ascenders are very long, thus recalling Renaissance proportions.

Apart from the above-mentioned cabbalistic writings it is also suitable for obscure shorter texts of all kinds. A longer book, however, should be rather set in some other type face.
