字体介绍

由Jean Francois Porchez设计的Sabon Next™是对一款复刻字体的复刻，它具有双重挑战：试图弄清楚Jan Tschichold对于初始Sabon的独有模式，解释最初为不同铸字系统制作两个版本的复杂程度。第一个版本是为了在Linotype和Monotype的排字机上使用而设计的，第二个版本是用于Stempel手工排字而设计。由于Stempel版本没有针对用于机器组合所必需的约束，它似乎更像是对其Garamond祖先的纯粹解释。
当然，Porchez是基于第二个版本创作的Sabon Next同时也参考了原始的Garamond模型，细致地改进了现有的数字化Sabon的比例。新字体家族很大而且用途广泛，包括罗马体和斜体，每中都有从regular 到black的6个字重。大多数字重都有小型大写字母、老式数字、替换字形（花体字、连字等）；还有一种有许多可爱百合花的装饰字体。标准版本包括修订后的数字，它们被特意设计成略小于大写字母。

The design of Sabon Next™ by Jean François Porchez, a revival of a revival, was a double challenge: to try to discern Jan Tschichold´s own schema for the original Sabon, and to interpret the complexity of a design originally made in two versions for different typecasting systems.
The first was designed for use on Linotype and Monotype machines, and the second for Stempel hand composition. Because the Stempel version does not have the constraints necessary for types intended for machine composition, it seems closer to a pure interpretation of its Garamond ancestor.
Naturally Porchez based Sabon Next on this second version and also referred to original Garamond models, carefully improving the proportions of the existing digital Sabon while matching its alignments.
The new family is large and versatile - with Roman and italic in 6 weights from regular to black. Most weights also have small caps, Old style Figures, alternates (swashes, ligatures, etc); and there is one ornament font with many lovely fleurons. The standard versions include revised lining figures that are intentionally designed to be a little smaller than capitals."
