Trialling JY Alia Italic for the first time 


Since it’s a long weekend, I had to put in a few hours into my next family, JY Alia. I use Alia for displaying my emailboxes’ indices, but Eudora italicizes sent-mail entries. I was sick of seeing the oblique so I installed a semi-finished Alia Italic just so what would appear would be optically correct. Feedback is welcome. It’s mostly based on my earlier JY Ætna, which in turn was based on the original . I didn’t slavishly follow the Griffo–Tagliente model and reinterpreted where I “felt like it”.
   I was going to make it more Plantin Italic-like but eventually went back to a more traditional aldine style à la Blado.

Note

Entries from 2006 to the end of 2009 were done on the Blogger service. As of January 1, 2010, this blog has shifted to a Wordpress installation, with the latest posts here.
   With Blogger ceasing to support FTP publishing on May 1, I have decided to turn these older pages in to an archive, so you will no longer be able to enter comments. However, you can comment on entries posted after January 1, 2010.
