History
Source Serif Pro is a serif typeface in the transitional style, designed to complement Source Sans. Their close companionship is achieved by a careful match of letter proportions and typographic color. While designed to harmonize with its serif-less counterpart, Source Serif often takes its own direction, in part because the two are inspired by different historical precedents. Source Serif is loosely based on the work of Pierre Simon Fournier, and many idiosyncrasies typical to Fournier’s designs (like the bottom serif on the b or the middle serif on the w) are also found in Source Serif. Without being a pure historical revival, Source Serif takes cues from the Fournier model and reworks it for a modern age.Menu Names And Style Linking
In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:
Source Serif Pro
Source Serif Pro Black
Source Serif Pro ExtraLight
Source Serif Pro Light
Source Serif Pro SemiBold
The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.
Menu Name | plus Style Option... | selects this font | ||
Source Serif Pro | [none] | Source Serif Pro Regular | ||
Source Serif Pro | Bold | Source Serif Pro Bold | ||
Source Serif Pro Black | [none] | Source Serif Pro Black | ||
Source Serif Pro ExtraLight | [none] | Source Serif Pro ExtraLight | ||
Source Serif Pro Light | [none] | Source Serif Pro Light | ||
Source Serif Pro SemiBold | [none] | Source Serif Pro Semibold | ||
On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe® PageMaker® software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign® software.
One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.
