Susie specimen.pdf
Susie is inspired by Chicago — a custom typeface for Apple Computer, Inc. designed by Susan Kare in 1984. Chicago was part of the Apple identity and a primary typeface in the breakthrough of Macintosh & iPod. And also a free typeface for users of Macintosh MacPaint and MacWrite. Susie shows a more contemporary look on this bitmap typeface.
It honors the horizontal to vertical stroke width ratio. Optically it keeps the inner whitespace the same size and changes its treatment of round shapes. These forms, which seem round at the smallest sizes of the bitmap version, are strictly rounded. A fundamental change can be found in the diacritics, which are darker and more compactly connected to the character. The typeface has a very specific character that in itself attracts attention. As such it is ideal in places where something needs to be emphasised. It’s also a good choice for setting short texts. In small sizes it is still legible.
