REQUEST FULFILLED! Indeed, Marco, dark backgrounds are better for Windows Desktops, especially if they are filled with icons.
Typeface in use:
Maximiliano Sproviero’s (LIÁN TYPES) charming, breathtaking beauty »Reina«.
Reina Reina is Sproviero’s didone of the year. We recommend seeing its »user guide.
Inspired in the sweet letters of calligraphy and typography masters of
our past; such as Didot, Bodoni and the incredible Herb Lubalin, its
aim was to incorporate the decorative accolades from blackletter and
copperplate styles of calligraphy into a Modern Roman typeface.
Reina reflects sovereignty due to the enveloping atmosphere and the
sensation of greatness that can be felt when using it. It has an
unique way of standing over paper and screen, being its swashes
responsible of an extreme elegance.
Similar to what Lian did in his last font Breathe, Reina was designed
to be playful yet formal: While none of its alternates are activated
it can be useful for short to medium length texts; and when the user
chooses to make use of its open-type decorative glyphs, it can be
useful for headlines with dazzling results.
TECHNICAL
Reina is a family with many members. In order to achieve better
results when printing, Lian took his time to design the necessary
styles: Reina 72 Pro, prepared for display sizes; Reina 36 Pro, for
medium sizes; and Reina 12 Pro, the best for text or decorative words
in small size.
Each of these members have variants inside, which are open-type
programmed: The user decides which glyph to alternate, equalizing the
amount of decoration wanted.
Reina Engraved Pro has the same features than the variants mentioned
above.
The family also contains variants which were made exclusively for
decoration. These are: Reina Words, a set of the most common words
used in english, german, italian, french and spanish; Reina Capitals,
which consists in a big set of ornamented capitals; and Reina
Fleurons, those little friends which always help to embellish our work
by combining them in the way the we want to.
