Description

”Gentium” is a Latin word meaning belonging to the nations. The Gentium typeface family was created to enable the diverse ethnic groups—nations—around the world who use the Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek scripts to produce readable, high-quality publications. It supports almost the complete range of Unicode characters for these scripts, including a comprehensive range of diacritics and a large set of symbols useful for linguistics and literacy work.

Gentium’s design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive. One design strategy for greater readability is to make slightly more generous counters, which are the spaces inside and around the strokes of the letters. For compactness, capital letters are modest in size and slightly compressed. For attractiveness, Gentium combines good design with careful letterspacing, plus a friendly, calligraphic character.

The newest version among them is 7.000, as upstream numbers it.
