Algol
Some words from Typodermic:
Scientists discovered what they believe is a new display font. First sighted in constellation Perseus, it has been named Algol. The family consists of a binary pair: Algol Regular and Algol VII, and the lone Algol IX. Algol Regular and Algol VII can be layer for a striking effect. Algol IX is transparent with more relaxed spacing which enables the observer to see right through it. Alternate letters with closed counters expand the world of design possibilities.
Each style has full a full set of upper and lower case, numerals, accents, punctuation and a symbols. Accents are included for most Earthbound languages including: Albanian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.
Algol is available in OpenType, TrueType and PostScript for both Mac and Windows. As one sign maker observed, “Pixel fonts tend to have tight corners that disintegrate. Algol is perfect for vinyl-cut signs because it has extended connections.” Algol’s effect can be seen on newsletters, text, posters, movie titles, video menus, and labels. Reluctant to name Algol “the perfect font”, one designer admits, “I love Algol because its applications are always expanding.”
