Earlier today a brand new web­site entirely ded­i­cated to a single type­face family went live. Erik Spiek­er­mann’s FF Meta Serif – one of last year’s most sig­nif­i­cant type­face releases – can be accessed on www.​metaserif.com. The microsite is pub­lished by FontShop Inter­na­tional and was designed by Flo­rian Hardwig/Malte Kaune.

The microsite fea­tures five sections.

• The Story of Meta Serif recounts the origin of the design and the cre­ation process through the orig­i­nal cor­re­spon­dence between the design­ers, with sketches and char­ac­ter draw­ings illus­trat­ing the story.
• Facts & Fig­ures includes all you need to know about the tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions: Open­Type Layout Fea­tures, Pack­ages, Lan­guage Support.
• FF Meta & FF Meta Serif com­pares FF Meta Serif to its sans sib­ling FF Meta, the most influ­en­tial sans serif of the dig­i­tal revolution.
• Glyph Poster offers a glimpse at all 709 glyphs of FF Meta Serif Pro in a poster designed by Erik van Blok­land, down­load­able in PDF format.
• In-​Use Gallery allows you to submit your designs cre­ated with FF Meta Serif or pic­tures of FF Meta Serif spot­ted in the wild. Every season’s best gallery entry wins a copy of FontBook.
