I have two questions about MT Fournier. I'll ask here one, and post the other under another category, where it belongs.
I really like MTs version of Fournier. But, recently I took a closer look at its outlines, and I was struck by how irregular they are. For instance, here's the bottom half of the lowercase
M:
And here's the
FI ligature glyph.
I was wondering, is this by design -- did Monotype mean to make them so unlike and irregular? Or is it just sloppy digitization? I saw some of that in old Berthold types, and I just assumes they were desperate to transfer things to digital before they'd go under. But, what gives, Monotype?
Comments
I have seen similar in fonts from other respected vendors. It's almost like they had anyone available, highly skilled or not, digitizing type so they could get them out the door quickest.
I was just curious about whether it's intentional or sloppy. Purely theoretical interest.
