【Bitter】专为在任何电脑或设备上轻松阅读而设计 英文 开源



人们每天阅读屏幕上的文字并与之互动的次数越来越多。屏幕上发生的事情最终比打印机输出的内容更重要。随着电子书的日益普及,字体设计师们正在努力寻找理想的屏幕阅读设计。


出于对像素的热爱,我设计了Bitter。这是一种“现代”的板式衬线字体,专为在任何电脑或设备上轻松阅读而设计。稳健的设计始于像素网格的紧缩,基于理性而非情感原则。它将人文传统的巨大x高度和易读性与人物的微妙特征相结合,为流动的文本注入了一定的节奏。


Bitter的笔划重量变化很小,Regular比普通的“Regular”样式更厚。这会在段落中产生强烈的色彩,衬线与带有方形终端的笔划一样厚。


每个字形都经过精心设计,在设计的第一阶段添加了出色的曲线质量,完全在像素网格中制作。字体是平衡的,手动间隔,使用很少的紧排对,这对网络字体的使用尤其重要,因为大多数浏览器目前都不支持这一功能。


People read and interact with text on screens more and more each day. What happens on screen ends up being more important than what comes out of the printer. With the accelerating popularity of electronic books, type designers are working hard to seek out the ideal designs for reading on screen.


Motivated by my love for the pixel I designed Bitter. A "contemporary" slab serif typeface for text, it is specially designed for comfortably reading on any computer or device. The robust design started from the austerity of the pixel grid, based on rational rather than emotional principles. It combines the large x-heights and legibility of the humanistic tradition with subtle characteristics in the characters that inject a certain rhythm to flowing texts.


Bitter has little variation in stroke weight and the Regular is thicker than a normal ‘Regular’ style for print design. This generates an intense color in paragraphs, accentuated by the serifs that are as thick as strokes with square terminals.


Each glyph is carefully designed with an excellent curve quality added to the first stage of the design, that was entirely made in a pixel grid. The typeface is balanced and manually spaced to use very few kerning pairs, especially important for web font use since most browsers do not currently support this feature.
