About Ascender Uni Font Family


Ascender™ Uni is a proportionally spaced comprehensive Unicode-compatible font with support for the Unicode Standard, v2.1 (supporting most major code pages and character sets in modern use). Ascender Uni is a 39MB TrueType (TTF) font with approximately 53,000 glyphs. The Latin and related glyphs (designed by Steve Matteson) are Sans Serif, with Gothic ideographs drawn in Japanese style, and complementary styles for other scripts. There are also versions of Ascender Uni that provide localized support for Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. OpenType layout support is included for Arabic (initial, medial, final, isolate, and required ligature forms, as well as basic mark positioning), and vertical writing for CJK locales (consisting mostly of Latin, symbol, punctuation, and kana glyph variants). Character Set: Latin-1, WGL Pan-European (Eastern Europe, Cyrillic, Greek and Turkish), Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Arabic. NOTE: Not all applications provide complete support for all the glyphs in this Unicode font.

About Ascender

In the early days of mobile devices and game consoles, few people had yet to fathom coming importance of typeface readability on such platforms. Ascender made its mark during this era by working closely with software developers and device makers to create many of the Windows Core Fonts and type for the Xbox 360 and Android phone. The Ascender library was formed by a team of typographic experts whose focus was set on technical innovation in the field. Anyone who has ever written a high-school essay has likely used an Ascender typeface: the library developed some of the world’s most-used typefaces such as the Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma and Verdana designs, and many other fonts that Microsoft includes in Windows and Office. It was in 2007 though, that the library’s designers made enormous strides towards the improvement of on-screen user interfaces with the release of the Droid Sans typeface family. This font was designed to be comfortably read in virtually any onscreen environment. This library is made up of original and revival typefaces steeped with artistic distinction and technical sophistication. Ascender is a typeface library that was founded with the goal of enhancing the typographic choices for creative professionals everywhere.
