About Ambicase Modern Font Family


Most fonts include uppercase and lowercase letters. Some experimentally-minded designers have proposed unicase typefaces as well: rather than having two different forms for a given letter, unicase fonts have one, chosen from the upper- or lowercase forms. Ambicase Modern takes the next step, offering not "either/or", but rather "both/and". Each letter in Ambicase Modern is a combination of its traditional upper- and lowercase forms, in a modern (didone) style. The inventive, hybrid forms that result are intriguing and handsome. Ambicase Modern stands out as a carefully crafted experimental font: its eccentric forms do not hinder its readability. It is suitable for high-style display settings. Ambicase Modern offers a large character set and extensive OpenType features. Most notably, in modern OpenType-aware applications, Ambicase Modern can be set in swash mode, which features sophisticated decorative flourishes that differ depending on whether the letter is at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Ambicase Modern is available in two optical sizes: Regular and Poster. At very large sizes, the Poster cut, with its finer details, is recommended. For an extra bold variant, see its sibling typeface, Ambicase Fatface.

About Teeline Fonts

Teeline Fonts is a digital type foundry launched by Craig Eliason in 2010. He comes to font design from an academic perspective. A professor of modern art and design history at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, Dr. Eliason researches the history of type design, and particularly the history of its classification and vocabulary. He began designing his own fonts in 2008. Teeline's aim is to produce well-crafted, original fonts. Painstaking efforts to refine these designs are informed by attentive consideration of the historical tradition of letterform design. Teeline's fonts also make thoughtful use of the customization possibilities opened up by modern font formats like OpenType. Teeline's offerings aim to be both clever and functional.
