Kυκλοφορία KS Galilea - Release of KS Galilea

Ἡ οἰκογένεια KS Galilea βασίστηκε στὰ πρωτότυπα σχέδια τοῦ π. Λουκᾶ, μοναχοῦ τῆς Ἱ. Μονῆς Ξενοφῶντος Ἁγίου Ὄρους. Ὁ ἁγιογράφος π. Λουκᾶς κλήθηκε νὰ διακοσμήσει τὴ Μονάδα Ἀνακουφιστικῆς Φροντίδας «Γαλιλαία», τῆς Μητρόπολης Μεσογαίας καὶ Λαυρεωτικῆς, μέ διάφορα ἐπίτοιχα ἁγιολογικὰ κείμενα.

Ἡ Γαλιλαία εἶναι μιὰ ἱεροπρεπὴς, βυζαντινοῦ ὕφους γραφή, στὸ πνεῦμα τῶν κειμένων ποὺ χρησιμοποιήθηκαν. Οἱ κεφαλαῖοι καὶ οἱ λατινικοὶ χαρακτῆρες σχεδιάστηκαν ἀπὸ τὴν ἀρχή. Ἀποτελεῖται ἀπὸ τέσσερα βάρη –Normal, Italic, SemiBold καὶ SemiBoldItalic– καὶ ὑποστηρίζει τὸ ἑλληνικὸ πολυτονικὸ καθὼς καὶ τὸ βασικὸ λατινικὸ σύστημα γραφῆς. Περιλαμβάνει μιὰ μικρὴ συλλογὴ συμπλεγμάτων ἑλληνικῶν καὶ λατινικῶν, πεζῶν καὶ κεφαλαίων.

The KS Galilea font family was inspired by the handwritings of the hagiographer Hieromonk Loukas (Dochiariou Monastery, Mount Athos). F. Loukas called to decorate the “Galilea” Relief Care Unit (Holy Metropolis of Mesogaia and Lavreotiki) by painting some gospel texts on the walls of the Unit.

Galilea is a solemn, byzantine style font, in the spirit of the texts used. Includes four weights –Normal, Italic, SemiBold and SemiBoldItalic– and fully supports greek polytonic system as well as the basic latin one. Includes a small set of greek and latin ligatures, lower and uppercase.

The KS Marina font family was inspired by the Basilii Synaxarion of the 17th century, (Vatican, Vat.gr.1613) and consists of eight groups (4+4) of dropcaps. The Normal version (One and Two), the Outlined version of the glyphs (Three and Four) and the Canvas version (Five, Six, Seven and Eight) which consists of the negative glyph forms of the previous ones on a monochrome canvas painting background. The font supports –in the present– only the Greek upper case alphabet, in every possible form of accentuation (monotonic or polytonic) as well as a variety of 29 decorative ornaments in two different designs.
Due to its detailed and complex design, KS Marina apparently works best in large sizes, like dropcaps, titles etc. For technical reasons, it is best to avoid using it in small font sizes (smaller than 24 pts).
