That’s why I asked if I should leave them out if not for the basic arithmetical operators.
Andreas Stötzner said:Claudio, the idea of making summation and product a bit lighter is an interesting one. Have you considered to also give the radix a similar contrast (and perhaps a descending stretch)?I would try out to give the horizontal part of your Delta a little more thickness.
I drew the Delta, Pi and Sigma just to figure out how to treat their math counterparts: as of now I have no intention to extend De Vinne beyond its original Latin character set.0 -

Also, please note that I have used numerators ('num') and not superscipt numerals which I have to design yet: these are old style as the original De Vinne fractions used them this way. It was just to see the effect.0

BTW, I even tried them monolinear… or so. But I did not like them.
Three discarded versions.0 -
Cristobal Henestrosa said:I draw product and summation with the bottom part below the baseline (but not as much as a true descender), but frankly I am not sure if this is a good choice and why.2
