Requiem is an old-style serif typeface designed by Jonathan Hoefler in 1992 for ''Travel & Leisure'' magazine and sold by his company, Hoefler & Frere-Jones.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/requiem/overview/ )〕 The typeface takes inspiration from a set of inscriptional capitals found in Ludovico Vicentino degli Arrighi's 1523 writing manual, ''Il Modo de Temperare le Penne'', and its italics are based on the chancery calligraphy, or ''cancelleresca corsiva'' of the period. Like many other typefaces designed by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, the family is large, intended for professional use. It is designed with three separate optical sizes of font, intended for different sizes of text, as well as two different styles of capitals inside cartouches intended for title pages and frontispieces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/requiem/features/requiem-optical-sizes )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/requiem/features/requiem-ornaments )〕 It also contains fleurons and italic ligatures inspired by calligraphy, as well as stylistic alternates such as an alternative 'Y' character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/requiem/features/requiem-special-characters )〕 Like typefaces of the period, it does not contain a bold style, as these were only invented in the nineteenth century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/requiem/styles/ )〕 == Variants == Three optical sizes, with regular (or roman) and italic styles for each: * Requiem Fine: for very large sizes, especially thin serifs and overall stroke weight * Requiem Display: for large sizes * Requiem Text: for body text, higher x-height There are no small caps in the italic styles.〔 * Requiem Display Ornaments: cartouches for large sizes * Requiem Text Ornaments: cartouches for small sizes Some releases of Requiem may also contain small caps, italic ligature and fleuron characters as separate fonts.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Requiem (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
