History
Kinesis is a unique and lively typeface family designed by Mark Jamra, and first released in 1997. In 2011 Jamra added Central and Eastern European characters to each font to match the Adobe® Pro glyph set, and also created useful figures and symbols for the small caps. The truly kinetic design shows a sculptural quality that shines in display settings, while the letterforms follow a calligraphic structure that works for blocks of energetic text. Balancing unconventional forms and expressive lettering with legible text typeface characteristics, Kinesis offers a wide range of weights and a vigorous personality for book text and magazine ad copy, as well as larger formats such as bulletins, posters, and packaging.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:
Kinesis Pro 3
Kinesis Pro 3 Black
Kinesis Pro 3 Bold
Kinesis Pro 3 Light
Kinesis Pro 3 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 | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 | [none] | Kinesis Pro 3 Regular | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 | Italic | Kinesis Pro 3 Italic | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Black | [none] | Kinesis Pro 3 Black | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Black | Italic | Kinesis Pro 3 Black Italic | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Bold | Italic | Kinesis Pro 3 Bold Italic | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Bold | Bold | Kinesis Pro 3 Bold | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Light | [none] | Kinesis Pro 3 Light | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Light | Italic | Kinesis Pro 3 Light Italic | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Semibold | [none] | Kinesis Pro 3 Semibold | ||
| Kinesis Pro 3 Semibold | Italic | Kinesis Pro 3 Semibold Italic | ||
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.
