GELIO GREEK A TrueType Font Family by S. John Ross Cumberland Games & Diversions www.cumberlandgames.

com When I released Gelio Greek Diner as the "pilot" member of the "Gelio Greek" fam ily, the idea was that I'd trickle out some more styles one at a time. It was a reasonable plan ... but then I remembered I'm really bad at things like "releasi ng stuff on a schedule." In the spirit of making sure the finished members of th e family don't languish unused on my hard drive, I've added four new styles to t his release (Gelio Fasolada, Gelio Kleftiko, Gelio Pasteli and Gelio Retsina). P asteli, Fasolada and Retsina are in many ways the simplest "core" versions of th e font: warm and slightly irregular master-glyphs in three weights. Gelio Klefti ko is a "roughly engraved" variant (compatible in both texture and light-angle w ith other engraved Cumberland fonts). There's more Gelio on the horizon (no bets on when), so keep an eye peeled for future releases. Gelio is an all-caps font complete with a full set of alphabetical alternates. M ix and match! Gelio is Greek for "laughter," and the family's figures are suited to its name: casual, canted this way and that, sometimes unrelated in height, a nd strung along a centerline rather than built upward from a baseline. It's rand omly playful in a way that required an unexpected amount of planning! Since the font has an awkward, asses-and-elbows nature (and because it's a dual set of int erlocking caps) it required more extensive hand-kerning than any other font in t he Cumberland library. Now I'm all tired out and craving souvlaki ... but I'm re al happy with the font and hope you are, too. These fonts are each copyright (c) 2011 by S. John Ross.
