"The genesis of #PolarSys B612
In 2010, #Airbus initiated a research collaboration with #ENAC and Université de #Toulouse III on a prospective study to define and validate an “#Aeronautical Font”: the challenge was to improve the display of information on the cockpit screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading, and to optimize the overall homogeneity of the cockpit.

2 years later, Airbus came to find Intactile DESIGN to work on the design of the eight #typographic variants of the font. This one, baptized #B612 in reference to the imaginary asteroid of the aviator Saint‑Exupéry, benefited from a complete hinting on all the characters."
***
"Eclipse B612 provides a fully open-sourced font and its variants plus a leaflet.

The characteristics of the font are:
Maximize the distance between the forms of the characters
Respect the primitives of the different letters
Harmonize the forms and their spacing"

Overleden Paus verdient betere spatiëring van zijn uitgehouwen naam op zijn steen. Hemeltergend | Deceased Pope deserves better spacing of his carved name on his stone. Heaven forbid.
