摘要

本文讨论了传统、现代、创新和复兴主义之间的联系,这些联系包含在三种具有开创性的希腊字体中,这些字体从1998年开始在希腊境外开发,用于以调制风格连续阅读。本文首先分析了菲尔曼·迪多特(Firmin Didot)切割的类型的历史模型;这种风格后来被Monotype公司用于热金属合成,并在各种技术中幸存下来,进入了数字时代。它为随后的工作提供了一个参考点,并从Adobe Systems的Minion Pro(1998)开始为新的数字字体提供了信息。文章讨论了Adobe开发带有希腊互补的大型排版家族的程序,它明确地推动了每次迭代的设计信封。它考察了为特征所采取的方法,如单调和多音调变音符的第一次配对,小大写字母上功能正确的变音符的先驱,以及它们对更广泛实践的影响。微软的平行努力加强了这一趋势,以及著名的独立作品,在非希腊设计师积极探索拉丁和希腊风格之间关系的背景下被引用。文章的结论是,1998年至2007年这段时间对连续文本的希腊字体来说是革命性的。

Enabling Modernity: Innovation in Original Modulated Greek Typefaces, 1998–2007
This article discusses the associations with tradition, modernity, innovation, and revivalism contained within, and enabled by, three seminal Greek typefaces for continuous reading in a modulated style, developed from 1998 onwards outside Greece. It starts with an analysis of the historical model of types cut by Firmin Didot; this style was later adopted by the Monotype Corporation for hot-metal composition, and survived across technologies well into the digital era. It provides a reference point for subsequent work, and informed new digital typefaces, starting with Adobe Systems’ Minion Pro (1998). The article discusses Adobe’s programme of developing large typographic families with Greek complements, which explicitly pushed the design envelope with each iteration. It examines the approaches taken for features such as the first pairing of monotonic and polytonic diacritics, the pioneering of functionally correct diacritics over small capitals, and their impact on wider practice. Parallel efforts that reinforced this trend by Microsoft, as well as notable independent work, are referenced in the context of active explorations of the relationship between Latin and Greek styles by non-Greek designers. The article concludes that the period between 1998–2007 has been revolutionary for Greek typefaces for continuous text.
