Looking back at the first release of Nure variable font after years, I immediately felt the need to revisit and refine it.
Its origins are strictly geometric, a choice that has defined its style since the beginning.
In this new version, I introduced changes to improve readability at small sizes, redesigning key letters and adding ligatures to make the text flow more smoothly.
Unicode U+270A RAISED FIST added to the latest PragmataPro font and variable font release.
— all weights: completed the Unicode Dingbats set for Mono and Modular-spaced versions
— all weights: adjusted spacing of the ̌ caron symbol U+02C7 spacing to 1024 em, the caron accent U+030C remains at 0 spacing.
— all weights: fixed TrueType hinting of some Texture Healing glyphs.
Changes are applied to the variable font version too
Feel free to contact me directly or notify an issue via Github to improve the PragmataPro project.
Thank you!
This minor update contains numerous fixes and a handful of improvements:
Now the ballot boxes are more geometric and wider in the modular-spaced versions of PragmataPro.
This solution fixes some overlapping issues in Terminal applications.
New design of arc glyphs ◜ ◠ ◝ ◞ ◡ ◟
Now more consistent with the related circle symbol
— all weights: added Math glyphs with the same weight of the Latin letters activable, enabling ss19 Stylistic Set 19 feature.
— all weights: improved TrueType hinting of some digits, $ symbol and == === ligatures.
— all weights Mono: added missing Powerline symbols.
— all weights Mono: added new stars Dingbats.
— all weights: added <--- <---> ---> ligatures.
— all weights: — emdash and – endash are now monospaced in modular-spaced versions.
Feel free to contact me directly or notify an issue via Github to improve PragmataPro and PragmataPro Variable again and again.
Thank you!
This update has taken much longer than anticipated because I’ve been simultaneously working on something revolutionary: PragmataPro Variable!
From now on, thanks to the 8 variable fonts included in the pack, you’ll be able to customize your own PragmataPro.
From this version m M and w W are more expanded in width when meets some letters too extended by design like f i j l r t E F I L with the goal to improve clarity.
Drawing inspiration from Donald Knuth’s magnificent work on LaTeX fonts, I’ve decided to reduce the weight of all mathematical symbols, creating a more distinct differentiation from the main glyphs.
This revision has also affected coding ligatures and some essential glyphs such as ( ) [ ] { } < > + * / \ % @ | " ' ~ ^ _
For this version, over 7000 Nerd icons have been modified for the Mono versions to achieve better recognition at small sizes.
The ability to make text more prominent through the application of a black background with white text, previously available only for tags, has now been extended to any text containing A-Z, a-z and 0-9 characters enclosed in square brackets [ ].
This feature can be activated by enabling the OpenType feature ss15 Stylistic Set 15 Tags [BUG].
The special design for optional tags proposed earlier is now available by enabling the OpenType feature ss18 Stylistic Set 18 Optional tags.
Serif version of A-Z and a-z in U+1D670 – U+1D6A3 sequence can replace Sans default letters enabling ss16 Stylistic Set 16 feature
Since PragmataPro 0.9 the Hebrew glyphs are less decorative and has a more pragmatic-slyle.
The ss17 Stylistic Set 17 feature replaces numbers and colons : with LCD-style numerals and colons that maintain consistent weight with the essential glyphs.
Thanks to the suggestions from several users from GitHub, I have added new glyphs that may be useful to many others.
I renew my invitation to contribute to this project’s GitHub repository so that we can create something unique together.
— all weights: ligatures are disabled in Regex.
— all modularspaced weights: removed Bopomofo glyphs because too narrow, available in Mono weights only.
— all weights: added {| |} ligatures for OCaml at codepoint U+1002DB U+1002C0.

Nure™ variable font was improved and released today.
Some improvements:
In the dynamic landscape of web design, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for creating engaging and user-friendly experiences. One cutting-edge technology that has gained prominence in recent years is variable fonts. In this article, we’ll explore the use of the oook variable font in the context of the Factory.ai website, discussing its benefits and how it contributes to an elevated user experience.
Variable fonts represent a significant advancement in typography, allowing designers to incorporate multiple styles and variations within a single font file. Unlike traditional static fonts that offer limited styles (e.g., regular, bold, black), variable fonts provide a spectrum of possibilities, such as different weights, widths, and even custom variations.
oook is a versatile variable font that comes with a wide range of styles, making it an excellent choice for web designers seeking flexibility and creativity. Its adaptability to various screen sizes and resolutions ensures a consistent and visually appealing presentation across different devices.
Incorporating the oook variable font into the Factory.ai website is a forward-thinking choice that aligns with the ever-evolving landscape of web design. The flexibility, performance benefits, and creative possibilities offered by variable fonts contribute to a more engaging and user-centric online experience. As the Factory.ai website continues to evolve, leveraging innovative technologies like oook variable font positions it at the forefront of modern web design practices.
Everseen is an Irish company that developes visual AI for business.
I’ve been contacted by Ideosuite in 2022 to improve their custom font used to create logotypes and headlines.

Under the numerous requests of expansion of the essential set, I finally completed the PragmataPro Fraktur typeface.
I designed numbers, lowercase numbers are default but uppercase ones are available via OpenType feature Lining Figures (lnum).s lowercase is available also in historical version enabling OpenType feature Historical Forms (hist)
The set includes for the first time, I suppose, the unreleased design for Fraktur alphabets of glyphs like currency symbols (€ $ £ ¢ ¥) the ampersand (&) etc.
I designed all these unseen before glyphs in Fraktur using the priciples used in the Middle Ages: slants of the parts of the outlines (55° and 72°), variable weights of these parts and modular horizontal rhythm.
I also designed ligatures to improve the readability and to respect North European tradition.
There are two kind of hyphen, endash, emdash and equal: default ones at 55° and the alternative at 0°, enabling using OpenType Stylistic Set 01 feature (ss01).
If you are interested to see more about this upgrade visit PragmataPro Fraktur page.
The Italian association for the industrial design — ADI — included my Nure variable font in its annual ADI Design Index 2022.
ADI is the owner of the historic Compasso d’Oro award assigned to the best designers of the world since 1954.
Seitu™ born with the goal to be one of the most readable fonts starting from the Bob Noorda’s coop logo.
After years of testing I can affirm that it is one of the most readable font designed until now. Take a look!
The oook™ variable font project was improved in these days because it’s full of potentiality.
Now this extraordinary variable font and its OpenType features is also a perfect tool for the branding of companies and corporations.
The wide eyes of the letters guarantiees unique readability at low sizes and now is one of the best typeface for spreadsheets in Excel or LibreOffice.
Try it to believe!
Amazing use of my typeface PragmataPro by Rai, the public Italian TV broadcast, to promote the 50th Internet Day.
Art director: Roberto Bagatti
Happy Internet Day to all!

With the help of @kelas and other good friends of Pragmata Pro from the open source community, version 0.827 comes with a brand new ligature substitution engine which is 10-20x faster than before, depending on the input.
Now Pragmata Pro, with its 9437 glyphs, can be loaded in a few µs.
Practically a giant who run like a cheetah!
Pragmata Pro™ is the first monospaced typeface to offer precise glyph positioning in common programming keywords, enabled by default in editors that support OpenType GPOS table.
The consistency and orthogonality of fixed pitch is now combined with the finesse of a proportional font.
The result is less tiring, aesthetically pleasing coding experience.
Your eye will know the difference before you do.
In all the weights of all the versions.
At the moment only in Regular versions. In the next releases the same marking system will be added to all the weights and also in Arabic alphabet.
Markdown checklist ligatures are available enabling OpenType Stylistic Set 12 in your editor and are based on these combinations:
- [ ] - [-] - [v] - [x]
Marks are often used in Phonetics texts and Mathematical formulas.
Since this version they are in their right place.
— all weights: problems with some terminal emulators have been resolved
— all weights: added these ligatures:
|- turnstile like
||- double turnstile like
_|_ bottom like
=~= <-< >-> <--> <== <<== ==>>

One of the most successful projects by Fabrizio Schiavi Design is certainly Siruca, the typographical system created in 2006 for the wayfinding of the complex Al Hamra in Kuwait City.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2018, a special stencil in plexiglass containing the essential letters of the Siruca alphabet will be exhibited in via Ventura 12.
A limited edition design object that could be sold-out very soon just like the previous edition in steel produced in 2009.
Every visitor can write using the stencil what he things in a 100 meter paper, buying a deck of Siruca Playing Cards or just take a free copy of a poster designed for this exhibition with all characters of Pragmata Pro in one of the sides.
See you at Milan Design Week!

PragmataPro Live is the exhibition of the first set of 9,000 glyphs of the Regular weight printed on a Forex panel of 21 meters folded into a big spiral.
PragmataPro exhibition is hosted by Aiap at the first floor of Palazzo Poli, the palace where was build Trevi Fountain in Rome and it’s visible until October 1, 2017
My son surprised me with this video, a creative live installation of PragmataPro, where a roller coaster winds through the hints shaped by the font’s large spiral. What a wonderful surprise! ❤️
The PragmataPro complete pack includes two folders: Fonts with ligatures and Fonts without ligatures
Both folders includes two kind of fonts grouped as Modularspaced and Monospaced.
The goal is to fit the need to have Modularspaced fonts without ligatures, Monospaced fonts with ligatures.
Two situations impossible to get before.
Now the entire set of ligatures has reached 177 for every weight (Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic)!
Thanks to the help of abrudz now PragmataPro has more consistent APL symbols
— Regular and Italic: improved the TrueType hinting
— all weights: ligatures are now more compatible with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA

I like emoji.
I think them can help to communicate
— quickly and
— without barriers of languages.
Probably I become old too soon but I don’t understand why emoji must be colorful and fill of small details above all when will be used at 9–14 pt size in every device.
For me emoji must be black and white and
designed to be used at very low sizes
Some month ago Dmtri Nesteruk wrote me an email with a sketched good idea: to add a bullet to some used box drawing glyphs. The result is very interesting! By now also a lot of graphic designers can be rethink the use of box drawing.
The entire map of the metro of Milan I redesigned using this exclusive box drawing method
Perfect also for text only diagrams

The design of the curly quotes are changed to be more recognizable in texts.
Question mark, and its derived glyphs, are now more condensed and inspired to the design of the traditional serif typefaces.
Abitare Sans now has a more sharp geometric outline.
Since v_1.06 Abitare Sans includes Cyrillic alphabet in all the 30 weights, both in Roman and Italic version.
Thanks again for supporting my typographic projects!
