The Fabula typeface was originally designed as a screen font as part of a project that produced software to enable children and teachers to produce bilingual story books. Since then, changes have been made to its design and it is now, additionally, a font suitable for titling and text setting in large sizes.
Stylistic qualities:
Fabula has a number of characteristics that the project team held to be important for children’s reading:
- – long ascenders and descenders to help identify the word shape
- – an informal ‘feel’
- – rounded stroke ends
- – a rounded ‘e’
- – a clear distinction between characters that might be easily confused, such as ‘a’ and ‘o’, and small letter ‘l’, capital ‘i’ and figure one.
