Longbooks for use in Ordinary Time.

 

These books all display the same text as the first book on this page, but explore a variety of serif typefaces. Print the same pair of pages from the Acrobat Reader for a detailed comparison.

 

 

 

Ferial Booklet in Perpetua

 

This font by Eric Gill (more accurately this typeface) is by the same author as the Gill Sans used in Common worship. It is a small typeface, so the point size has been increased by half a point to 10.5pt over the Gill Sans version. A spacious layout, but some will have difficulty reading it.

Ferial Booklet in Garamond

 

Garamond is a well known serif font, and is a little bigger than Perpetua. A pleasant style.

Ferial Booklet in Times New Roman

 

Times New Roman is a large but horizontally compact typeface. It is remarkably legible even at 10.5 points, and must remain a strong option.

Ferial Booklet in a larger Perpetua version

 

Here the base font size has been increased to 12.5 point, and the line spacing reduced to 0.9. The title and rubric fonts have similarly been increased. This places great strain on the style, the layout, and the available space. Compared to simplicity of the original style every page has had to be hand crafted to make it fit. Many empty lines have been removed and  4, 5 or 6 points added to the previous line to compact the layout where needed. This scaling produces a font as tall as Times Roman, but the letters are usually wider. In a narrow booklet there have had to be compromises over line breaks. This booklet, however, is very readable in an attractive typeface.
