Fetamont: An extended logo typeface
Linus Romer · 2014
The logo font, known from logos like METAFONT or METAPOST, has been very limited in its collection of glyphs. The new typeface Fetamont extends the logo typeface in two ways: • Fetamont consists of 256 glyphs, such that the T1 (a.k.a. EC, a.k.a. Cork) encoding table is complete now. • Fetamont has additional faces like “light ultra-condensed ” or “script”. The fetamont package provides LATEX support for the Fetamont typeface. Both the package and the typeface are distributed on CTAN under the terms of the LATEX Project Public License (LPPL). The following article presents some facets of the Fetamont typeface, explains important techniques and shows the history of the logo typeface. 1 Comparison with existing logos The following picture shows the METAPOST and the METAFONT logos written in Fetamont (gray) and Taco Hoekwater’s Type 1 version of the logo font
