DT PaperType has evolved and morphed over time from quite distant origins.
I previously created DT Paperside.
It was neither Papyrus nor SSI Countryside, but was inspired in some ways by the Papyrus form, although untextured and smoother, and had the more open dimensions and proportions, similar to that of Countryside SSi, with its larger easily readable lowercase body, and more consistent, shorter stems.
DT Paperside had an open scripted feel which was pleasing to the eye and easy to read.
DT PaperType has since been crafted from of the original Paperside font.
The Organic flow and comfortable form of Paperside has been retained, but it has been shifted very much from the feel of a script font, into a quality, extremely readable, organic and friendly, serif font, retaining its clarity, while adding a great deal of pose and class.
This font is primarily suited to body text, and as such is extremely readable. It does however also make an excellent Display font, and comes with a full set of over sized Caps that drop below the line to stand out on a headline when required.
Paperside can also automatically enhance the first letter of most sentences, and changes other letters to suit their position within words, and the letters they appear beside.
Now comes with an italic that curves and softens various letters.
For best results, use this ‘smart font’
with Contextual Ligatures turned on.
Mulitiple Stylistic Alternatives
are included.
Inspiration for this fonts predecessor (Paperside) came from two other fonts.
Papyrus: designed by Chris Costello and created in 1982, it is a hand-drawn textured typeface, emulating texts written in biblical times.
One of the most used (and misused) fonts of all times.
Owned by Letraset, and currently published by the Internation Typeface Corporating (ITC).
Countryside SSi: The serif font of an unknown designer, currently licensed by Southern Software Inc.
