Description:

Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface
family designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the
world who use the Latin script to produce readable, high-quality
publications. It supports a wide range of Latin-based alphabets and
includes glyphs that correspond to all the Latin ranges of Unicode.

The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and
visually attractive. The additional 'extended' Latin letters are
designed to naturally harmonize with the traditional 26 ones.
Diacritics are treated with careful thought and attention to their
use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek, including a
number of alternate forms.

GentiumAlt is an alternate font with flatter diacritics, specifically
designed for languages using multiple accents. A Cyrillic version is
under development and will be added in the near future. Preliminary
work has also begun on additional weights and manual hinting, and a
complementary sans-serif face is in embryonic form.

The Gentium font family has received various awards from the
publishing and typography community.
