PragmataPro Fraktur is completed!

2023-06-21
PragmataPro Fraktur 1.2 2023

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.

PragmataPro Fraktur 1.2 2023 OpenType Ligatures

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).

Sample of PragmataPro Graphic for Legacy Computing coming from Teletext, Atari and Comodore64

Pragmata Pro™ is the first monospaced typeface offering ‘Graphic for Legacy Computing’ Unicode set. All these glyphs coming from Teletext, Atari and Comodore 64 system.

These symbols converted as text are designed to build images. Practically is a ‘Block Elements’ set extension.

— Added Runic set

PragmataPro Runic, includes Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Runes

PragmataPro 0.827: a giant running like a cheetah!

2018-09-05

PragmataPro 0.827 loading time, a giant running like a cheetahWith 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!

 

— Java and C/C++ reserved keywords are now kerned

PragmataPro C++ and Java reserved keywords kerned with GPOS table

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.

 

 

— Added Enclosed Alphanumerics set

Pragmata Pro Enclosed Alphanumerics

In all the weights of all the versions.

PragmataPro 0.826 Ligatures in mono version? Why not!

2017-08-18

After many requests, I decided to change the font files structure of PragmataPro:

 

New font files structure since PragmataPro 0.826

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.

 

— New ligatures for R language and C#

Now the entire set of ligatures has reached 177 for every weight (Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic)!

 

PragmataPro 0.826 new ligatures

 

 

 

— Harmonized APL symbols

Thanks to the help of abrudz now PragmataPro has more consistent APL symbols

 

PragmataPro 0.826 APL symbols

 

 

— Minor improvements:

— all weights: ligatures are now more compatible with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA

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.

 

Milano Metro map text only

The entire map of the metro of Milan I redesigned using this exclusive box drawing method

PragmataPro 0.822 – the silent revolution

2016-03-14

PragmataPro font v_0.822

There are a lot of changes in the version 0.822 of PragmataPro:

 

➊ Perfect integration with CJK fonts and Emoji

All the glyphs are been scaled to exactly 0.5 em² wide (= 1024-unit em) so they are compatible with CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters, where every character are exactly 1 em² wide (= 2048 unit)

PragmataPro integration with CJK monospaced fonts

 

 

➋ All the arrows, planned by Unicode until now, are been designed

PragmataPro is now the first modular/monospaced font of the history that includes all these arrows.
You can see all from my Github repository named ‘Arrow Finder’

Arrows of PragmataPro displayed by pointing orientation

 

 

➌ Towards completion of Math support

It’s been improved the design of U+2200 – U+22FF Mathematical Operators set
added the U+2980 – U+29FF Misc. Mathematical Symbols-B set
added the U+2A00 – U+2AFF Supplemental Math Operators set
under the precious supervision of Pierre Le Marre

PragmataPro improved thanks by Pierre Le Marre annotations

 

 

➍ New ligatures for functional programming languages

The design of ligatures that includes < and > is changed
Added a lot of new ligatures to improve the programming in Haskell, Scala, Swift … in all the weights available
