FONTLOG for the Rationale font

This file provides detailed information on the Rationale 
font Software.

This information should be distributed along with the 
Rationale fonts and any derivative works.

Basic Font Information

Rationale is a compact monoline webfont designed to work well on screen
from large headlines to 12 pt body copy. 

The concept was to create a modular-based font with optical corrections guided by snap eye judgements. Such irregularities add a warm impression to the overall strict geometrical logic. 

The idea of subtle stroke cuts originated from the letter n, and was selectively incorporated throughout the characters. This feature becomes visible from 36 pt and above. In body sizes stroke cuts enrich the typographic color with light nuances.

Designed by Alexei Vanyashin in cooperation with Olexa Volochay and Vladimir Pavlikov.

Rationale is a Unicode typeface family that supports 
languages that use the Latin script and its variants, and 
could be expanded to support other scripts.

More specifically, this release supports the following Unicode
ranges: Latin-1
