Adobe Originals<br />

Adobe Systems introduces <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong>, a new font<br />

software package in the growing library of Adobe<br />

Originals <strong>typeface</strong>s designed specifically for today’s digital<br />

technology. Adobe Originals combine the power of<br />

Adobe Post<strong>Script</strong> <strong>typeface</strong> software technology and the<br />

most sophisticated electronic design tools with the spirit<br />

of craftsmanship that has inspired type designers since<br />

Gutenberg. Comprising both new designs and revivals of<br />

classic <strong>typeface</strong>s, Adobe Originals packages set a new<br />

standard for typographic excellence.<br />

<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong>, a new <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> script <strong>typeface</strong><br />

from Adobe, allows customization of font variations for<br />

specific requirements. An enhancement of Adobe’s industry-standard<br />

Type 1 font technology, <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong><br />

<strong>typeface</strong>s add new dimensions to typographic control<br />

and flexibility. With <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> technology, interpolation<br />

is applied in an innovative way to <strong>typeface</strong><br />

attributes, or design axes, such as weight, width, optical<br />

size, and style. <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> is a <strong>one</strong>-<strong>axis</strong> design that<br />

allows the generation of weights between light and bold.<br />

This booklet provides some background on <strong>multiple</strong><br />

<strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong>s and the <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> design. It also<br />

includes samples of <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> in various text and<br />

display settings. For complete instructions on how to<br />

install <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong>s on a computer and<br />

how to generate custom instances, please see the Adobe<br />

Multiple Master User Guide.


Multiple Master Typefaces<br />

These new <strong>typeface</strong>s are called “<strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong>s’’<br />

because two or more sets of outlines, or <strong>master</strong> designs,<br />

are integrated into each <strong>typeface</strong>. The <strong>master</strong> designs<br />

determine the dynamic range of each design <strong>axis</strong> in a<br />

<strong>typeface</strong>, and the Post<strong>Script</strong> language enables ondemand<br />

interpolation, or generation of intermediate<br />

variations, between the <strong>master</strong> designs. For example, a<br />

light and a bold <strong>master</strong> design delineates the dynamic<br />

range of possible font variations along the weight design<br />

<strong>axis</strong>, and the user can interpolate variations anywhere<br />

within this range. The particular design axes that comprise<br />

each <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong> are based on the<br />

aesthetics and potential uses of that <strong>typeface</strong>; therefore,<br />

the number of design axes and their ranges vary from<br />

<strong>one</strong> <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong> to another. Some of the<br />

possible design axes include weight, width, style, and<br />

optical size.<br />

<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong><br />

<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> is a contemporary italic script, designed<br />

by Robert Slimbach and based on the handwriting of<br />

renowned Swiss typographer Max <strong>Caflisch</strong>. At first<br />

glance, it evokes a friendly and informal quality. But<br />

closer inspection reveals that it owes its character to a<br />

seas<strong>one</strong>d craftsperson with respect for classic handwriting<br />

traditions. The <strong>typeface</strong> assumes the calligraphic<br />

flourishes of the chancery hand and transposes them into<br />

the present day. <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> speaks directly to the<br />

reader and produces striking word images that enliven<br />

any communication. It is ideal for use on its own, for<br />

informal correspondence and advertising, or in conjunction<br />

with more static types for strong contrast.<br />

The <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> Weight Axis<br />

Before <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> technology, <strong>typeface</strong> families<br />

were limited to a fixed selection of weights. With <strong>Caflisch</strong><br />

<strong>Script</strong>, type users can fine-tune <strong>typeface</strong> weight to best<br />

suit the job at hand. The <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> weight <strong>axis</strong><br />

spans from light to bold, and works much like a pen<br />

selector. The user can choose a pen style that ranges from<br />

fine-point to broad-felt-tip.<br />

<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> Swash Capitals<br />

shown in a progression of weights,<br />

from light to bold.


Designing <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong><br />

The project began when Slimbach received a handwritten<br />

note from <strong>Caflisch</strong>. The clarity and virtuosity of his script<br />

so impressed Slimbach that he considered transforming<br />

<strong>Caflisch</strong>’s handwriting style into a <strong>typeface</strong> design.<br />

Months later, during a visit to Adobe, <strong>Caflisch</strong> agreed to<br />

write out several sample pages of his handwriting for<br />

Slimbach to experiment with. From these samples, written<br />

with a fibre profipen, Slimbach enlarged and cataloged<br />

a variety of letterforms, n<strong>one</strong> of which, having been<br />

written by the human hand, were exactly the same. Eventually,<br />

he derived a working character set with several<br />

alternates. These letterforms were scanned and digitized<br />

to establish a basis for the type design.<br />

During this early phase, Slimbach worked to retain the<br />

subtleties and detailing of the original handwritten<br />

samples, while making the necessary weight, shape, and<br />

spacing adjustments so that the font would perform well<br />

in all letter combinations and join in a natural manner<br />

as a connecting script. To make <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> into a<br />

<strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> font, Slimbach used the original test<br />

weight as a basis from which to design light and bold<br />

<strong>master</strong> designs for the weight <strong>axis</strong>. Later, alternate lowercase<br />

and swash capital fonts were developed to further<br />

represent <strong>Caflisch</strong>’s handwriting and provide users with<br />

a more exuberant version of the regular design. Throughout<br />

the creative process, <strong>Caflisch</strong> reviewed test proofs and<br />

provided valuable feedback on the developing type.<br />

This collaboration produced a script face that pleased<br />

both designers.

Primary Fonts<br />

A set of primary fonts is supplied with each <strong>multiple</strong><br />

<strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong>, comprising a collection of ready-to-use<br />

variations of the design. In addition to the hundreds of<br />

custom fonts that can be generated along the weight<br />

<strong>axis</strong>, <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> includes four primary fonts for each<br />

of the regular, swash, and alternate fonts.<br />

Primary fonts are named according to their position<br />

along each design <strong>axis</strong> in the <strong>typeface</strong>. The <strong>Caflisch</strong><br />

<strong>Script</strong> weight <strong>axis</strong> has been assigned a specific numerical<br />

range that is relative to other Adobe <strong>multiple</strong><br />

<strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong>s. Relative numeric ranges are most<br />

useful when comparing the weights of <strong>typeface</strong>s used for<br />

text composition. To maintain consistency among<br />

<strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> <strong>typeface</strong>s, this relative system has been<br />

applied to the <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> weight <strong>axis</strong>.<br />

Handwriting<br />

For 6,000 years, man has communicated through written<br />

symbols. The evolution of handwriting, from the earliest<br />

pictograms to our current alphabet, has been driven by a<br />

quest for simplicity and efficiency. For centuries, written<br />

language has been the primary means of documenting<br />

human endeavor, affording us a window to the past.<br />

The alphabet we know today was established during<br />

the Italian Renaissance. The elegant and practical<br />

scripts of this time evolved from earlier writing systems<br />

and derived their character from the broad-edged quill<br />

(figures 4 and 6). These scripts, in all their forms, had a<br />

sweeping influence on society and led to the creation of<br />

the roman and italic letterforms that we use today.<br />

In the early 17th century, with the advent of copperplate<br />

engraving as a means of reproducing letterforms<br />

and illustrations, italic handwriting evolved to emulate<br />

the marks of the engraver’s pointed burin. The pointed<br />

quill soon replaced the broad-edged quill, giving rise to<br />

copperplate handwriting. For the next 300 years, a vari -<br />

ety of pointed-quill handwriting styles were practiced by<br />

professionals and amateurs alike (figures 10 and 11).<br />

Modern handwriting is a potpourri of styles, written<br />

with a wide variety of instruments. It is an everyday<br />

activity with results ranging from a disposable note to a<br />

fine piece of calligraphy. Whether we write in a traditional<br />

or unconventional manner, our personality, intellect,<br />

and mood shine through. However, the primary<br />

purpose of writing is communication, which requires a<br />

legible script. Fine handwriting is a craft worthy of<br />

admiration as well as a joy to read.<br />

<strong>Script</strong> Typefaces<br />

Strictly speaking, a script <strong>typeface</strong> is an imitation of handwriting.<br />

It is a maer of opinion which <strong>typeface</strong>s should<br />

be classified as scripts, especially since all early type designs<br />

come from wrien forms. Today, we typically label a <strong>typeface</strong><br />

as a script if it retains the look of having been wrien<br />

with a pen or other writing implement.<br />

From Gutenberg’s Bible<br />

The first successful script <strong>typeface</strong> was cut and cast in<br />

metal by Johannes Gutenberg. He modeled it on the Gothic<br />

script of the time and used it to print his famous bibles in<br />

the 1450s. As the printed book gained acceptance throughout<br />

Europe, new <strong>typeface</strong>s were created. The most successful<br />

early designs were based on the humanistic book hands<br />

of the Italian Renaissance (figures 5 and 7).<br />

In 17th-century France, three commonly used hand -<br />

writing styles were reproduced as printing types: Ronde,<br />

a rounded upright form; and bâtarde coulée and bâtarde<br />

ordinaire, both italic forms (figure 9).<br />

The double pica script of Thomas Corell (1774) emu -<br />

lated the copperplate scripts of the time and subsequently<br />

became the prototype for similar styles of types (figure 12).<br />

Type designers such as Fournier, Fleischman, Rosart,<br />

Didot, and Bodoni transformed distinguished versions of<br />

pointed -quill scripts into the vernacular of their times<br />

by rendering them as printing type.<br />

In the 19th and 20th centuries, numerous formal and<br />

freestyle script <strong>typeface</strong>s were designed. In addition to<br />

traditional broad-edged and pointed-quill script types,<br />

brush scripts and, more recently, scripts inspired by the<br />

felt-tipped marker, pencil, ruling pen, and even the spray<br />

paint can can now be seen.

Carla Sandoval<br />

Director Museo Nacional<br />

Banco Centrale<br />

Bogotá, Columbia<br />

Dear Ms. Sandoval,<br />

On a recent business trip, I had the pleasure of spending several<br />

hours looking at your fine collection of pre-Columbian gold work.<br />

My company develops and sells electronic equipment for the<br />

archaeological profession, and, although I am not an expert on<br />

pre-Columbian gold work, I have absorbed quite a bit of knowledge<br />

and have been able to collect a number of pieces.<br />

While in the south wing, I noticed a double bat-head figure<br />

pendant, dated 11th to 14th century, from central Panama (no.<br />

11-38-4156). I am familiar with its style because in 1974 I purchased<br />

a single bat-head pendant (slide enclosed) that looks like<br />

it was made by the same crasperson. The overall design, texture,<br />

quality of finish, and color of the gold alloy bear an uncanny<br />

resemblance to the piece I own.<br />

I am very attached to this piece, however, I feel it is my<br />

responsiblity to offer it as a gi to the museum. Your collection is<br />

so beautifully displayed, while my piece sits in a dusty vault; it’s<br />

almost a sin. I will be in South America at the end of February<br />

and would like the opportunity to meet and show you the piece.<br />

If you are interested, please write or call at 619-438-0708. I look<br />

forward to hearing from you.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Charles Brand<br />

Max <strong>Caflisch</strong> began his distinguished typographic career<br />

as a compositor. He later worked as a typographic designer<br />

for several printing firms, assisting Jan Tschihold and<br />

Imre Reiner for three of those years. From 1943 to 1962, he<br />

was art director of Benteli AG in Berne–<strong>one</strong> of the leading<br />

printing and publishing firms in Switzerland. It was<br />

during this time, in 1952, that the Bauer Type Foundry<br />

released his Columna <strong>typeface</strong> design. In 1963, <strong>Caflisch</strong><br />

began teaching at the School of Arts and Cras in Zurich,<br />

where he was managing director of the graphics department<br />

until 1981. From 1963 until 1978, he also taught at<br />

Zurich’s School for Graphic Techniques. <strong>Caflisch</strong> has<br />

received numerous awards for book design, mounted<br />

many solo exhibits of his work, and authored several publications<br />

on typography.<br />

Robert Slimbach, who joined Adobe’s type staff in 1987,<br />

began working seriously on type and calligraphy four<br />

years earlier in the type drawing department of Autologic<br />

in Newbury Park, California. Since then, Slimbach<br />

has concentrated primarily on designing text faces for<br />

digital technology. He has designed <strong>typeface</strong>s for the<br />

International Typeface Corporation as well as the Adobe<br />

Originals <strong>typeface</strong> families Adobe Garamond , Minion ,<br />

Minion <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong>, Minion Cyrillic, Poetica,<br />

Sanvito , Utopia , and Myriad (co-designed with Carol<br />

Twombly). In 1991, he received the Charles Peignot<br />

Award from Association Typographique Internationale<br />

for excellence in type design.
