Serif styles marked by “10” are dedicated to textual point sizes and long reading. This “modern” attitude is applied to both families and calls for use on the same page, e g in dictionaries and cultural programmes. The italics have the same width proportion as upright styles. Quercus serif styles took inspiration from classicistic typefaces with vertical shadows, ball terminals and thin serifs.
Their fine gradation allows to find an exact valeur for any kind of design, especially on the web. It has eight interpolated weights with respective italics. For the German lower-case diacritical marks, all Headline Types complements contain alternative integrated accents which allow the compact setting of lower-case headlines.Quercus is characterised by open, yet a little bit condensed drawing with sufficient spacing so that the neighbouring letters never touch. For a number of Bodytypes, hairlines and serifs were thickened or the whole typeface was adjusted to meet the optical requirements for setting type in small sizes. For the Bodytypes, fine spaces were created which prevented the smear effect on acute angles in small typesizes. In addition to the adjustment of spacing, there are also adjustments in the design.
The kerning tables, as well, have been individualized for each of these type varieties. That of the Headline Types is decidedly more narrow in order to do justice to the requirements of headline typesetting. That of the Bodytypes is adjusted for readability. The most obvious differentiation can be found in the spacing.
One is designed specifically for headline typesetting (SH: Scangraphic Headline Types) and one specifically for text typesetting (SB Scangraphic Bodytypes). Since the release of these fonts most typefaces in the Scangraphic Type Collection appear in two versions.
