Font Pic


HIH LARGE is another "Hey, Look at ME" font, somewhat similar to our SHOUT, but with rounded corners. As a result it is softer and friendlier than SHOUT. It is appropriate to similar applications requiring an attention-getting font, such as posters, flyers and ads. .

HIH LARGE uses our new encoding, as noted in the All_customer_readme.txt. The Euro symbol has been moved to position 128 and the Zcaron/zcaron have been added at positions 142/158 respectively. Otherwise, HIH LARGE has our usual idiosyncratic glyph selection, with the German ch/ck instead of braces and our usual Hand-in-Hand symbol. Also included are several useful ligatures, as shown in the PDF files found in the gallery. The basic HIH LARGE FAMILY includes a regular font and two oblique fonts: RECLINE, leaning to the left and INCLINE, leaning to the right. This has more to do with which hand a person writes with than any indication of political persuasion. Display obliques like these are useful for imparting a sense of movement to a design. Conversely, the upright regular is very grounded, creating a feeling of stability in uncertain times. More recently, HIH EXTRA LARGE has been released to the to add more weight to the family
