The Maintenance font family revisits developments by Monotype 100 years ago. Improvement in printing technology inspired Stanley Morison to devise Times New Roman. He found inspiration in Plantin, from 1913. Times has had an unprecedented success in becoming used internationally. Maintenance picks up on this trail with familiar letter shapes in a variable font family of six weights, complemented by six characteristic italics.

Numerals are drawn notably smaller than the capital letters, allowing for better separation within letter/numeral combinations – i.e. HO 50. Maintenance’ non-aligning figures 0123456789 are especially suitable for blending within lines of text. Letterspacing is instrumental to the look-and-feel of a typeface. It’s this combined effect, along with the letters’ inner forms, that we actually read. For well balanced typesetting kerning pairs are included. Compared to most other faces Maintenance’ default spacing is rather narrow.

The Maintenance italic fonts include alternatives for Q, g, k and z. When activated all together with the OpenType feature “salt”, or one-by-one with stylistic sets 01–04. Maintenance is a good partner to the typeface Prospekt – as they both share the same vertical proportions.

With Maintenance I used my old fashioned design and production process yet have made a variable font for use with contemporary technology. Hence its name.

Maintenance is a smart font with OpenType features, like alternative characters in italic fonts and aligning or old style figures, both proportional and tabular. More than 300 different languages are supported.
