Skie is a simple gothic sans serif typeface with normal, condensed, and wide families. Its distinguishing characteristics are the small x-height with tall ascenders, and a minimal amount of contrast, while the apertures are semi-open to help in readability. The simple design keeps the appearance fairly neutral and presents a blend of modern and vintage qualities.
With 60 fonts in 10 weights and 3 widths making up the complete family, it could be considered a superfamily or workhorse as the widths — normal, condensed, and wide — all harmonize together to give the designer a variety of proportions and layout options to work with. Each width carries a little different tone and feel.
Skie includes many features:
* Arrows
* Discretionary ligatures
* Case-sensitive punctuation for All Caps
* Tabular figures
* Fractions, numerators, denominators
* Superscript, subscript
* Slashed zero

With almost 600 glyphs, this font has extensive Latin language support (100+ Latin languages) for Western, Central, and South Eastern European.
_Skie will work great right away with most any software (Adobe, MS Word, Pages, etc.), but to take advantage of the additional OpenType features, OpenType-savvy software (like the Adobe applications) is recommended. These additional OpenType features are not PUA-encoded to help preserve functions like spell-checking, searching, and proper glyph matching if switching fonts._
