KS GrequeX has been designed according to the famous "Grecs du Roi" fonts. In the mid 16th century, François I, aiming at the promotion of Greek studies in France, ordered a typeface that was destined to monopolize typographic interest in Europe for the next two centuries. The royal Greek fonts (as they are widely known) were based on the handwriting of the Cretan scribe Angelos Vergikios and were created by the famous publisher and type designer Claude Garamond. The original typeset circulated in many series, the biggest of which consisted of approximately 430 elements.
KS GrequeX includes more than 1100 combinations of abbreviations and ligatures incorporated in the same typeset, either in the form of OpenType features or in the form of glyphs. It also includes Latin features, alternative features, two different types of numbering, small capitals, as well as all the archaic features (koppa, sampi, san, archaic koppa and digamma).
The main advantage of KSGrequeX is the real-time automated use of ligatures within the text while typing. This naturally requires the use of software that supports OpenType typesets, such as Adobe InDesign (v.CS1+), Adobe Illustrator (v.CS1+), QuarkXPress (v.7+) and Microsoft Word (v.2008+).
Since the user may not be able to use some of the ligatures (for example, for reasons of typeset clarity), a configuration option is available, so that automation may be adapted to each user's needs.
Two weights are available: Normal and SemiBold.-
