Voice has been published December 2005 in the URW++ library. But after I decided to build my own shop it is now available only here. The new oldstyle figures and smallcaps version has the extention OS The idea of Voice started with a simple, easy to use, easy to space, easy to scale sans serif. I spent quite a bit of time finding the right shapes for the lower case. The way the strokes end in the a, the c, the e and the s tell a lot about the structure of the lower case. In a typeface like Helvetica the stroke-ends those letters makes them look very closed up. The other extreme is Argo with open almost horizontal ends. In Voice a, c, e and s therefore play an important role in the rhythm of the whole typeface. To keep the spacing simple those letters needed to fill their space without the need of much kerning. That also helped to design an extreme Ultrabold. Ascenders, descenders and proportion are relatively compact for the use in narrow columns with tight leading as well as headlines. The basic sans serif has got two variants. Called Voice Edge and Voice Shoulder. Little alternations to the stroke of the lower case lead to very different styles. There is one serif for all variants Every family has got 9 weights with italics and in the OS/SC version (oldstyle figures/smallcaps) all 9 weights with smallcaps There are 3 kinds of figures in the typeface. normal lining figures in the basic families. Oldstyle figures and smallcaps figures in the OS families. Lining figures, currency symbols and mathematical symbols have the same width.
