For the Bodytypes, fine spaces were created which prevented the smear effect on acute angles in small typesizes. In addition to the adjustment of spacing, there are also adjustments in the design. The kerning tables, as well, have been individualized for each of these type varieties. That of the Headline Types is decidedly more narrow in order to do justice to the requirements of headline typesetting.
