{"title":"Lumiere Text","description":"\u003cp\u003eLumiere Text was initiated as an optimisation of Galaxie Copernicus but has evolved far enough to become its own standalone family. Copernicus is based on Plantin, its overall proportions are designed to harmonise with Chester Jenkins’ Galaxie system. Over the last century, Plantin has influenced many typefaces, the most notable example is Stanley Morison’s Times New Roman. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the uncoupling from the Galaxie system, Lumiere inherited many design features from Copernicus, especially the sturdy serifs and the robust skeleton. The distinctive terminals, splayed M, the apex of A and the serifless leg of k translate into workable newspaper features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most obvious influence of Times New Roman can be seen in Lumiere Text Italic. The original specifications of the Galaxie system determined the 10° angle for Copernicus Italic. Combined with the Plantin influence, the hooked entry and exit strokes result in a distinctive, personable italic. Early drafts of Lumiere Text Italic were closely derived from this formula but proved unsuitable for the more neutral newspaper environment. The solution was to take advice from Times New Roman by replacing the entry stroke with a flag serif and raising the stem-to-arch connection. Because the forms were now less individual and distinctive, it was necessary to increase the slope to 12° in order to clearly differentiate from the Roman in running text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.myfonts.com\/es\/collections\/lumiere-text-font-the-forger-foundry.oembed","provider":"MyFonts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
