It is forbidden to modify the vector outlines of Outline Online typefaces [1]. We offer customisations of all our fonts to meet specific requirements, such as adjusted or unique cuts, extensions to the character set and specialised language support.

Our fonts are designed with great consideration and constant improvement during the design process. Tailored to the expectations of each commission, custom typefaces come with various licensing options, including exclusivity. For inquiries about customisations, modifications and extensions, please contact us at info[at]outline-online[dot]com.

[1] Exception can be found in the ‘Logo licence’ section of the EULA.

▸ Web Fonts:
Web fonts are hosted remotely and loaded by browsers, ensuring consistent typography across devices. Formats include Woff and Woff2, optimised for web performance.

▸ OpenType Features:
OpenType supports advanced font functionalities that allow for rich typographic options, like ligatures, small caps, and alternate characters, giving designers more creative control.

▸ TrueType Fonts:
TrueType, developed by Apple and Microsoft, uses quadratic Bézier curves for precise glyph control, offering excellent scalability and rendering on both screens and print.

▸ Hinting:
Hinting improves legibility on low-resolution screens by aligning font outlines to the pixel grid, reducing distortions at smaller sizes, ensuring a coherent and legible text at low screen resolutions. Often paired with antialiasing and subpixel rendering for enhanced clarity.

▸ Style Linking:
Style linking connects variations (e.g., bold, italic) within a font family, enabling automatic switches between weights and styles without loading separate files.

▸ Compatibility:
Font compatibility ensures consistent rendering across platforms, devices, and software, addressing both legacy systems and modern environments.

▸ Vertical Metrics:
Vertical metrics control text alignment and line spacing, ensuring consistent layout by defining the relationship between the baseline, ascenders, and descenders.

▸ Character Set:
The character set defines the range of available glyphs, from basic letters and punctuation to special symbols and ligatures, tailored for specific languages or purposes.

▸ Language Support:
Language support refers to the scripts a font handles, including Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, and CJK, ensuring legibility across different linguistic systems.

▸ Variable Fonts:
Variable fonts allow for dynamic control over attributes like weight and width within a single file, improving performance and design flexibility, especially for responsive web design.

▸ Style Extensions:
Style extensions offer additional typographic options like small caps, superscripts, and alternate glyphs, enhancing creative design choices.
