Paragraph

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.

Designer's Notes

Plateia is a new font family created primarily for display purposes. I've designed 6 weights, but have so far only had the opportunity to develop the bold weight into a working font.

Plateia Bold is the heaviest weight and comes with over 1,200 characters, including Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Greek (monotonic and polytonic) and Cyrillic glyphs. The style is all-caps, with optically-adjusted small caps mapped to the lower case characters. It is offered here free for personal use. If you would like to use it for commercial purposes, please purchase a license. The cost is $5 (US) payable by clicking the 'donate' button.

All feedback is welcome, especially if you spot any errors or glaring omissions. I can be contacted either privately within dafont or directly at steve@explogos.com.

Thanks!
