about ff profile sc to ce bold
italic
ff Profile unites classic forms into a contemporary face. The starting
point is the broad-nibbed pen and the result is clear, uncluttered and
attractive letterforms with a minimum of contrast. It is very legible in
small sizes and yet an individualistic headline face. The subtle hint of
serifs, the angled ends and the classical proportions, coupled with the
ascenders that project beyond the uppercase, result in a cheerful,
comfortable whole.
The entire family uses space frugally. Even the heaviest weights of the
family were drawn somewhat narrowly to achieve this. The designer
invested a great deal of time in perfecting the widths and the kerning
tables.
The first drawings of ff Profile date back to 1995, and many of them were
done directly on screen. In the following four years the family has
undergone many changes and the lettershapes have been continuously
refined and re-drawn. The end result is a family of five weights: Light,
Regular, Medium, Bold and Black.
ff Profile contains a wide range of special characters, expert characters,
mathematical symbols and various sets of numerals. All special
characters of ff Profile have been drawn with the same attention to detail
as the standard character set. The font even contains four different
ampersands.
